I'm safe enough to process
Safe enough to hurt
Little did I know
How comfortable the before was
The emotionlessness
How comforting it was
To push these uneasy thoughts away
Down and back
And even though I know now
I know it's better this way
I wish I could just keep it all packed away
This is a poem I wrote way back in early 2017, when I was just starting to write poetry and was too embarrassed to sign my full name. I only signed them O.T back then. I’ve redone it into a spoken word.
Just because you gave it your all to the wrong person doesn’t make you stupid. It just shows how much you’re able to love someone even if they hurt you.
You’re able to love someone and look past the pain they cause you, and that’s how much you’re able to Love
and that is a wonderful thing. Not everybody can do that
You’re so selfless that you’re able to love someone who hurts you so deeply and so profoundly and you think that makes you weak but it doesn’t
