I'll say that yes, I've been hurt in the past.

It is the honest truth after all.

You didn't think I'd understand,

But after all you've put me through,

I can honestly say I do.

I understand that I may have never meant anything to you.

I just don't care enough to try and change your mind.

Not anymore anyway.

I stopped caring so I could focus on myself instead of on you.

No one ever said caring for other people was easy.

I guess I just didn't see the signs.

Ernest Hemingway once said, "The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places."
