Just Shut Up

alone
their words run through my head
make me wanna scream
be violently ill
just shut up
please shut up
you don't know
you'll never know
he's my world
the heeling light in all the pain
even he doesn't understand
why doesn't anyone see all the hurt
hurt from their words
hurt from their actions
I can forgive
but do I ever forget
learning my lessons
fearing more pains
please just stop
just shut up
I can't stand all these thoughts

You do not now how much I can relate to this. Very well expressed emotion. People can be so cruel. They use their words as weapons instead of using them with kindness and understanding and they don't realize or care about the lasting damage and pain it will cause. Thank you for sharing this. Great write. Love Robin
