Trauma is good, right?
You called me names
You hit and kicked me
You treated me like trash
Like I was worth
nothing
You made sure i knew
That i didn't mean anything
That i was just,,,someone you can use
And I thought that was okay
-i thought you abusing me was okay
Because i was so in love with you
You are the reason i cannot trust anymore
You are the reason i hide myself
I was so confident
But you ruined that-
You ruined the way i saw myself
You ruined the way i thought about my worth
When i tried to leave
You showed me the bruises on my body
You said that i belonged to you
Until the bruises went away

This piece is about something that happened to me from 8th grade the 10th grade. I thought he was the love of my life and the relationship was very hard to get out of. I wrote this for the people who have been in my place. For the people who have had that relationship where they just hated everything about it.
