Hurt and Helped

A Story by Brooklyn

You don't like me.
You held me down and pushed me around.
I was a toy.
You called me names.
You cut and hurt my heart.
You ripped it out leaving me to die.
WHAT DID I EVER DO!
I helped you.
You HURT me.
I cried when you cried.
You LAUGHED when I cried.
I carried your worries.
You GAVE me more worries.
I unburdened you load.
You BURDENED me till I fell.
You turned everyone and everything that I cared for against me.
I was THERE for you.
But you were NEVER there for me.
I hope you know.
You have not broken me.
You have not hurt me.
You have not killed me.
You helped me.
Build stronger walls.
Because sometimes.
Your hurtful words.
Went in one ear.
And out the other.
And I have learned.
