Insults

Such little words that impact over time
They build up like bricks
And hit you like one too
Hitting me like bullets in war
Such painful little shots that hurt over time
But that's not the worse part.
That is just the beginning
The shots on yourself just worse than anything you could do to me
When I get hurt it goes away
When you get hurt it lingers
Love is great
But when the person you love
Doesn't love themselves
It hurts in the worst way possible
The negativity flows in like a river
Or like how it flows out of your mouth when you are at your worst
I love you.
Now I wish you'd love yourself.

-J.M.

A/N: I honestly felt so bad when this was sent to me by my boyfriend, but I knew he has to get it out, and he did in away I could fully understand: poetry. He does his best for me and I try my best for him. I love him so much, and I'm really trying to love myself.
