Sometimes words hurt

The day you threw everything at me with your words, and it was like someone hitting me over and over with rotten tomatoes.

There wasn’t a good outcome to this situation.

As I tried to run they begun to hit me harder and I stumbled a couple of times trying to get my footing.

Then I feel nothing as I got too far away for your tomatoes to hit or hurt me and I am free.

I finally can smile and lift my arms to the air as I feel the pain slide away like the mess of the tomatoes from my clothes.

And I know this time I won’t let that happen again for I’m stronger now.

My words will block out yours, and if that fails I will just put on my headphones and walk away.

  1. BoJenn – USA – The year 2019 changed my life, forever. I was a fairly good artist and now, it’s all changed. From “fairly good” to I’m not sure of what it’s called, but it’s now me. I wear it. It’s who I am after a long documented near death experience.

    This poem is powerful. I felt your emotion, your pain and your victory…
