Wash Your Hands Off Me.

You bruised me on the inside

But it's okay

I don't care

I’m perfectly fine

I’m not gonna burn

You won’t let me down

I’ve found my strength

Nothing can let me down now

I’m getting stronger

Thanks to you

I couldn’t do it without you

You made me realize, that I am not alone

I’ll always have someone by my side

“Tell me what’s wrong!”
You kept saying that even though I didn’t want to

But you actually forced me to

I cried my eyes out, remember?

You didn’t hurt me

I didn’t want you to worry about me

Well enough of that

I finally found strength to move on

So, I’ll go wash your hands off me

“Friends if you like...”

Remember?

I’m still here if you need me.

I've quit crying.

i LIKE YOUR STYLE.

[knightcall]

The title is most excellent. I was attracted to your poem because of it. that line is so strong, so rebellious. I love it, it makes the whole poem by itself. I like the bruise/burn combo as well.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I see this as someone who has been hurt by another who inflicted pain then turned around and asked, what is wrong, why do you cry? The one who is hurt has had enough and has learned the lesson well, picks themselves up, brushes themselves off and moves on. Well written.......

We all need the strength to pull through

This is the best ive read so far....i like the wisdom in these words.

[Forest Green]

It seems the relationship described has evolved into the clinical phase where verdicts are cold and calculated. It's always the scary phase for the two involved, but it does protect the heart from further hurt...somewhat anyway...

Very well done...believable write.

[Victoria PoetryBunny]

indeed this does show strength, this is really good, power to yourself :D and i like and enjoyed how you wrote it and the title as well

[Coyote Poetry]

A very strong poem. We do get stronger and wiser. I like the way you handle the pain and left a open door for friendship. You are very wise. Thank you for a outstanding poem.
