It Hurts

 It hurts…

It hurts when you can’t go to your peace place. 

When you’ve been promised, and then it’s broken as easily as tearing a piece of paper. 

My heart hurts, when I hear those words which tell me that the happiest time of my life had just slipped out of my hands. 

I want to yell until nothing comes out. 

I don’t know what to do, who to talk to. 

When I’ve been hurt so many times, it’s scary to ask for help. 

I get scared, scared that I’ll get yelled at, I’ll have to hear those words of disappointment again, I would have to take in all that negativity, as if I have not already drowned in it. 

I sometimes feel it would have been better if I had just given up.
