It Pains But It Heals Too Poem by lavia belle mafukaduvha

On an occasional such as these
I write on behalf of youth.
Parents can be the one that brought you here, but you owe them nothing.

There were times where I put my mama first and all of that has left me dry and empty. I was giving and giving out of the goodness of my heart only to find that the only person behind my shortfalls is the one I put first.

I didn't want to believe it
When a child rise up to their parents' abuse, the community says the child is gone crazy, Ive checked out few poems on the net one day feeling down. I wanted relavence, I wanted closure, I didn't know how to move on from this hurt without healing but I got none.

I wanted to hate her so much, but she once said to me 'the hate you give it's as much likely mean you only love the person so much' when I asked her about my dad.

The only way to heal is to let go, let go of the guilt, let go of the hurt, there's no sorrow on earth that heaven can't heal. God knows I wanted her heart to stop beating and mine would stop hurting, but I have healed and I have forgiven because we all need to heal from what has happened.

Your greatest enemy might be the one closest to you, it doesn't have to be a stranger to be legitimate.

Be reborn, be independent!
