Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

To the Woman That Hurt Me

She hurt me
Her words hurt me
Her lies choked my happiness daily
She has hurt other people the same way too

So I chose to stay away from her 
That negativity was weighing me down

But then she returned to my life
               In full force
Her coming back opened those old wounds that I had worked so hard to bury
I want her gone, away from me and my family
Her tongue is a two tongued blade that mostly spits venon

I feel betrayed, I feel hurt more
I can't do anything 
I feel like pretending to like her goes against my belief system
This is a battle I will continue fighting 
               I don't know until when

I cry out to God
This is a battle I can only win with his help

Jennifer Donnay March 8, 2015 at 10:21 AM Njeri, I know its hard when people hurt you, believe me, I had a woman friend whom I thought was a good friend, but turned on me.. She stabbed me in the heart, but I also know that you have to rise above them, otherwise they win!" If you love yourself, then that's all that matters!". You are special, loved, and caring.. Don't let people bring you down"" hugs!" Njeri Hunjeri March 9, 2015 at 3:48 AM Thank you so much Jennifer for those encouraging loving words. They mean a lot to me. If you can do it, I can do it. Be blessed

Eileen Manassian March 4, 2015 at 9:22 AM My dear...this is a very painful situation to go through. Being good doesn't mean letting people take advantage of you or abuse you. I've decided to stay clear of people who bring me pain. It is the only way to survive. My thoughts are with you. Hugs Njeri Hunjeri March 4, 2015 at 10:37 PM Thank you so much Eileen. Your words mean a lot to me

Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2015 at 8:51 AM You are wise to seek God's council. I have found from experience that those people who seem the meanest are in the most need of being loved. Njeri Hunjeri March 4, 2015 at 10:31 PM I will def try those words. Because I want to make things better .thank you so much Richard. Richard Lamoureux March 4, 2015 at 8:55 AM Try, "I love you but I won't allow you to take advantage of my good nature!" Or "Why would you say something like that?" Or "I feel bad for you that you feel that way." Or "I wish you knew me better."

Herzel Poshiwa March 4, 2015 at 12:22 AM Hi Njeri, I would also think pretending goes against one's belief. Nice write....xx Njeri Hunjeri March 4, 2015 at 10:29 PM True its not good to pretend and that's why I pray for God's wisdom to know how to deal with the issue . thank you Herzel.
