She has said really bad things that I have a hard time forgetting

So much so that I have a hard time forgiving

It’s just hard to look at her the same

I just don’t want to feel anymore pain

So I say nothing to her

To keep me sane

She uses reckless words

And ignorant phrases

Far from understanding is her only understanding

She holds no empathy

No sympathy

Just brutality

To dismember me even more

And it’s on my mind so everyday

That My heart is stuck on sore

She wants you to make her proud so she can praise you

But when accomplishments come I won’t be proud to tell her because of the things she’s said,

I’m no longer excited to share news with her, or talk just to talk

Because the shaming and putting me down has lead me far from her

And I still hurt

So I’m gone away

At the price of mean words

Is what has to be paid.
