Imagine a world
Where we knew who would hurt us
As soon as we met them.
Shake someone's hand
And see the pain they would cause you
Run away.
We would all run away.
We would all be alone.
But.
The secret of life is this;
Everyone will hurt you.
A little, or a lot.
An unkind word or a look of disgust.
Or Heart shattering betrayals that make you question everything.
Everyone is going to hurt you.
The beauty of it is,
Some people will almost kill you before they are all through.
But..
Some people will love you more than they cut you.
And those are the ones
Worth hurting for.
