Destruction of Some People

Destruction of Some People                             by Ann J Gold 

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
they can’t see the blessing in the future.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past, 
they can’t see the love of everyone surrounding them.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
Selfish is the only way they know how to be.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
They wonder why their good doesn’t outweigh their bad.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
They can’t see positives overcome the negatives.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
They can’t understand the bad of the past was only a few tests.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past, 
They think their small trials and tribulations are as bad as they can get.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
Everyone feels their wrath.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
Happiness is not the option they choose

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
Trust, honesty and respect is not  displayed to others.

Some people have been hurt so bad in their past,
They can’t LET GO and LET GOD!

"Some people have been hurt so bad in their past, everyone feels their wrath." Your empathetic poet heart is showing, Janine. I am curious why at the beginning it says Ann J. Golden. Do you go by your middle name? Welcome to Poetry Soup!
