Your words hurt

WARNING: There is crude language in this. Poem a wrote... Kind of a vent

Worthless

Looser

Unloved

 

I guess I'm all that

You call me every name under the sun

Out me down to the ground

 

"materialistic c**t"

Just because I don’t want to go out in the rain?

"Go and cry"

Maybe I will, but do you care?

"don’t let your makeup run!"

It runs because you make me cry

 

After all I did

I was the only one on your side

I was the only one there for you

 

I risked my family for you

And this is how you repay me?

 

Degrading words

Making me feel worthless

Making me feel like I am nothing

 

Am I nothing to you?

Are my good deeds forgotton?

Replaced only with bad ones

 

You look at me and all you see are my mistakes

Was I a mistake to you?

Was I a bad investement?

 

If you don’t want me around

Just say so

Spare me the pain

 

Your degrading words

Your spiteful words

Your stabbing words

 

They hurt

They stab me deep in the heart

Where it hurts the most

 

Your betrayel to my heart hurts the most

I cared for you

I put my faith in you

 

And this is how you repay me

With degrading words

Putting me down

 

Well guess what,

Your words hurt!

They kill!

 

Ripping me apart inside!

Leaving behind a black hole,

Where my once broken heart rest

 

You broke a broken person

You tore me apart

I am nothing

 

Do you know how it hurts?

Do you realise,

Your words hurt!

words do hurt and so often we let them slip from our mouths before we think. We also let words that are soft and loving come out that often we don't mean either and how does one take those back? We can't. A very good write.

A very sad and emotional poem. Words can destroy a life and close door to family and friendship. We must be careful what we say and do. I like the directness and honest feel of this poem. I like the powerful statement at the end of the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Great! A lot of emotion running through your words. Good job.

Words leave everlasting scars. What someone says or has said lives with you forever and effects you in life. I know from experience. I was always called ugly and a dog. I was called it so much I believed it and still to. Even now it is hard for me to look people in the eye because I think they are just going to judge the way I look.

Immense emotional trauma. Your wording feels like a sucker gut punch. Sticks and stones hurting more than words reigns absurd. Words liken to a bell. Once rung, ya cant' unring the bell. This will call upon your psyche to save you from yourself. Potent.

very sad.... great pain in between your lines... you express the emotion well.

Strong and full of tense on the line feelings...almost a "Slam Poem"...but not so harsh as one of those...but intense all the same... Why do people have to be that way anyhow?? What gives them the right to hurt others?? You bring those questions and more to my head as I read down the page. Nice piece you have here :)
