Poetry With Me

This may trigger some people it may make them feel something. But let it.

Let them finally feel the pain they let out into the world. Or let them reap the benefits of their kindness.

People say their life is so hard which is why they have to be but I think you should flip the script. Yes you had challenges you had to overcome but you are stronger now because of it.

It was not meant to harden your heart but to show you a way to work through pain and come out with an understanding that has now made you wiser.

Don’t call others lucky because you can’t see their scars, call them brave because they don’t have to constantly display their hurt to gain understanding from others.

Don’t lash out at people because you feel that everyone should know that you went through something traumatic. Maybe they did too. They just aren’t rubbing your face in it.

Your hardship doesn’t lessen anyone else’s. Your pain is not their burden to bear.

So if this triggers you and you are upset that others would ask that you be treated with the same kindness you put out in the world maybe you should rethink how you treat others.

Love Always,
