Actually, I allowed you to hur

We allow people to hurt us. We have a choice to stop it for whatever shitty reason we don’t stop it. We have the power, option or choice to fight back, to stop it yet sometimes we just allow it to happen. this poem is dedicated to each and every person that, like me, allows people to hurt them. I am here, to tell you to recognise your power and stop it. You deserve better. Hope you like this poem!  The truth is I allowed you to hurt me Not just you I allowed everyone to put me down I allowed people to control me In the name of love I allowed people to make me cry tears behind closed door You know, so that they don’t feel bad for harming me I allowed this Because somewhere down below Under the sheet of bravery and strength I thought I deserved it I believed I deserved to be in pain I thought I deserved to cry  in all reality I didn’t. I never did. it’s okay, Now I know Now I know that I deserved so much more I have tasted the mud on the ground So I am ready to fly above the sky the fact that I know I won’t ever allow you or anyone to hurt me again Takes away your power over me helps me sleep well at night.
