Hurt - Gio A.


Love is a painful mystery,

It is as old as history.

But the pain that comes with love, is being hurt.

Having your heart stomped into the dirt!


Loving anyone is a hard thing to do,

Especially when they walk all over you.

Loving anyone is a hard thing to do,

when they use, abuse, and leave you!


How can I be myself?

When my heart is being crushed.

How can I trust?

When I have been betrayed.

How can I love?

When I have been hurt and broken.

How can anyone love me?

When I don't see the beauty in myself!


Everything has it's price.

Everyone elses price for love seems to be joy.

My price is destroyed.

My name is Giovanni, I am a student at Illinois College, which is in Jacksonville, Illinois. I was born with a birth defect that has made me deaf from my left ear, I'm 19 years old, Puerto Rican and I love poetry, art, and music! The surgeries I had when I was younger left me missing some ribs on the right side of my body. I got bullied for many things throughout my life, but I have been able to live my life everyday! I want to spread my love of life through music, I want to be an inspiration to those who were bullied and those with disabilities! Singing, poetry, drawing, and music have been my passion since forever and they will always be a part of my life!
