Words Hurt


They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder 

I am the one who holds the highest view

my perception of self tainted by trauma caused by you 

Words dont just hurt they leave scars that are hard to undo 

I can no longer see what is true 

I feel triggered and the pain grows bigger 

When will I ever belive I am enough withou your whisper calling bluff 

when will I see the beauty that hides behind your lies

when will my eyes see the power I hold inside
