To the Woman That Hurt Me

She hurt me Her words hurt me Her lies choked my happiness daily She has hurt other people the same way too So I chose to stay away from her That negativity was weighing me down But then she returned to my life In full force Her coming back opened those old wounds that I had worked so hard to bury I want her gone, away from me and my family Her tongue is a two tongued blade that mostly spits venon I feel betrayed, I feel hurt more I can't do anything I feel like pretending to like her goes against my belief system This is a battle I will continue fighting I don't know until when I cry out to God This is a battle I can only win with his help

Njeri, I know its hard when people hurt you, believe me, I had a woman friend whom I thought was a good friend, but turned on me.. She stabbed me in the heart, but I also know that you have to rise above them, otherwise they win!" If you love yourself, then that's all that matters!". You are special, loved, and caring.. Don't let people bring you down"" hugs!"

My dear...this is a very painful situation to go through. Being good doesn't mean letting people take advantage of you or abuse you. I've decided to stay clear of people who bring me pain. It is the only way to survive. My thoughts are with you. Hugs

You are wise to seek God's council. I have found from experience that those people who seem the meanest are in the most need of being loved.

Try, "I love you but I won't allow you to take advantage of my good nature!" Or "Why would you say something like that?" Or "I feel bad for you that you feel that way." Or "I wish you knew me better."

Hi Njeri, I would also think pretending goes against one's belief. Nice write....xx
