A List of Hurts
It hurts
when people like your friends
more than your friends like you.
It hurts
when you’re so disconnected from a sense of self
that you start to mimic
the thoughts of others.
It hurts
when you used to have that spring in your step
and that twinkle in your eye
but your fire is gone.
And you can’t love anymore.
