Hurt Me- Poem 116

Why does it hurt me so much when you hurt somebody else?

I have grown this tough skin

This rude mouth,

But I still feel the sting of the bite.

I will never be able to tell you what you want to hear.

I will never be able to deny how I truly feel.

I am caught in the middle of the things that I feel like I have to have.

But my heart often lies to me.

My mind doesn’t always know where to go either.

I let the word fill my head that came from your lips and I crumble.

Please let me be…

Please everyone leave me…

I was not built to hold all this inside.

I finally let my thoughts fall out of me to her after 2 years.

Our 2 years of silence killed me.

So I resorted to the thing that felt okay.

That felt good.

That felt like the right thing.

I had no guide.

I built myself up.

My skin is tough.

And that is why I continue to read and listen to everyone around me.

I will never let anyone one why I wander alone.

No,

I have rarely had someone to care for me the why I have just found.

I finally let them in.

I let all of their young and naive words make me smile.

So now I care.

They are like the ones I care for.

They let me care for them.

And this is what made me feel whole.

But know I have started to let you in again.

Suffocation takes over once again.

And of course you want answers that I will never have.

I will continue to hurt.

I will be the one to squeeze the lemon in my wounds.

Because it hurts me when I hurt you.
