Torn

I feel so angry and torn inside.
They say words can’t harm you, but they do.
More deeply and more hurtful than a slap in the face.
I feel as if im broken and bleeding inside.
Everything wants to lash out.
But I just keep smiling.
They say you should forgive, but my heart feels so battered that I can’t stop feeling angry.
