Hurtful Things You Say

Hurtful things you say,
Tear me apart in every way
Think before you speak to me,
Because I will not let it be
I treat you nice, and show some slack,
But there are times I will strike back
Even though you are my relative,
If you want love, be sure to give
For I am sensitive just like you,
I have feelings and can hurt too!


Written after my mom said something really mean to me about my Granddaughter 
Genevieve on Easter Sunday.

Oh, it happens; I mean, we all tend to say things we are not willing to say, or perhaps we are willing to say them but do not know how to do so in a soft way; thanks for sharing, I hope everything is better now
