Why Does Hurt Hurt So Bad?


First I must ask, who has the right to hurt others? I was born July 6th 1995 That is where my pain began Up and Down Left and Right It came from all directions My Mother addicted to drugs chose them over me My life began to turn to hell I didn't know where to turn I asked for help But can the hurt help the damaged? I reached out to my Brother He reached back But to HURT not to help He abused me daily Ha he told me it was love so in him I bestowed my first piece of trust but life continued I was adopted but when you hurt so bad who do you trust? My life moved on Ha I met my first love But what kind of love could I share? I tried my best but found I was sharing the wrong kind of love Sex is NOT love Ha My brother lied I have lost again Now who do I trust, those who say they are there to help? or do I stick to myself the one who I have my only trust left in, myself? Who has the right to hurt me? Why does it hurt so bad? Who lets it hurt so bad?
