Jill Spitz Poet Free verse

For 1 Day

If I could only show you,
for 1 day,
what you do to me.
The confusion.
The hurt.
The thoughts.
The fear.
The tears.
The pain.
All this you bring to me.
But not only to me.
To my family.
To everyone I know.
You do all these things to me,
but most of all you change me.
You change everything about me.
My happiness.
My thoughts.
My love.
My laughter.
My tears.
My hurt.
My pain.
If I could only show you,
for 1 day,
what you did to me.
You embarrassed me,
you took every move I made,
good or bad,
 and used it against me.
You made my life horrible,
and I hate you for it.
But If I could show you,
for 1 day,
what you did to me,
I wouldn’t.
Because no matter how horrible you are,
Nobody deserves to go through that.
