UNHURT ME

Unhurt me, can you do it?

so many promises no one could keep,

swore they all could unhurt me,

but in the end I was left to suffer,

only to be hurt by another,

I was always left to blame, 

my unborn sins and selfish ways,

how they always turned back on me,

so I asked myself to unhurt me...

Can I unhurt myself?

and stop putting myself through this living hell,

asking myself is it really me?

am I to blame for my own suffering?

it can't be me alone, 

so I weigh my options and put it all on the table,

only to see a puzzle to unscramble, 

all the pieces dont even fit, 

there has to be more to this, than this...

I ponder on this thought, 

realizing to unhurt myself would take an awful lot, 

to blame them, they'd feel no pain, 

probably never gave it a thought again, 

so I unhurt myself by blaming them, 

leaving a little room to be unhurt again,

just incase for the next time, 

they swear and promise, 

but continue to lie...

A very good poem. Sometime we hold hope over regret. Maybe if we are lucky. Can find place of joy and happiness? I liked the thoughts and the hope in the words. Hope is the last thing we must keep or become cold and alone. Thank you my friend for sharing your amazing poetry.

Such a sad poem. Introspective guilt, sadness and self reproach. Wow.

[Alexa Nichols]

WHOA,,sAddening and very effective piece of poetry

I can relate to this piece at present!

We make our own choices in life and choose those we feel are worth our time and love. We give them everything we have, and sometimes they just disappoint us and strike a blow to our hearts. And often without remorse. It takes great strength and courage to find one's true sense of self again after such incidents. Eventually we do, if we search hard and long enough.

A very relatable piece. Well written and very realistic for all of us. Nicely done.

If only we could unhurt ourselves,the unending pain ,battle and hurt we feel inside would have been so easy to end.... wonderful piece..

[OhSnapShley]

Thanks Dipsy! Learning to unhurt ourselves takes an awful lot of effort. But eventually it is possible

[dipsy]

Yea eventually it is possible.....

[apennylate]

It would, indeed... Take an awful lot to unhurt myself, the pain, the shame and blame... Blah... Promises are empty birds-nests of "wait"...
Hurtfully penned... Sure to burn worth into earned mirth...

[OhSnapShley]

We indeed can not sit around and wait for people to help us become "unhurt". They usually say if you want something done right, do it yourself.
Well wishes to you.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
