Actually, I allowed you to hurt me- A hard hitting poem

We allow people to hurt us. We have a choice to stop it but for whatever shitty reason we don’t stop it.

We have the power, option or choice to fight back, to stop it yet sometimes we just allow it to happen.

And this poem is dedicated to each and every person that, like me, allows people to hurt them. And I am here, to tell you to recognise your power and stop it.

You deserve better.

Hope you like this poem! Comment below what you think of it! 😉

The truth is I allowed you to hurt me

Not just you

I allowed everyone to put me down

I allowed people to control me

In the name of love

I allowed people to make me cry tears

behind closed door

You know,

so that they don’t feel bad for harming me

I allowed this

Because somewhere down below

Under the sheet of bravery and strength

I thought I deserved it

I believed I deserved to be in pain

I thought I deserved to cry 

But I didn’t.

I never did.

But it’s okay,

Now I know

Now I know that

I deserved so much more

I have tasted the mud on the ground

So I am ready to fly above the sky

And the fact that I know

I won’t ever allow you or them

to hurt me again

Takes away your power over me

And helps me sleep well at night.
