Hurt

Why don't they understand?

They don't understand at all.

They just laugh cruelly

and don't take time to

understand me.

Don't they get

that I have feelings?

That I'm a person,

too?

Their words cut into me

like a sharp knife

each time, and

the wounds

never heal.

Momma says that

Jesus will always love

and be there for me, but

if he's there for me,

why do I feel that no one cares?

They scream and taunt and laugh

and throw things at me,

but they don't care about or notice

the hurt and pain

etched into my face.

After all the times

they've hurt me,

is it wrong to

want to hurt them, too?
