Can you imagine
what it's like to grow up
without parents, 
making it feel
like they left you 
because they didn't love you?


Can you imagine 
what it's like to be 
in an abusive relationship?
or have an ex that always cheats?

Can you Imagine? 

Can you imagine being stalked, 
being harmed, 
being threatened, 
by people you let close to you? 

Can you imagine, 
the sounds of fire 
across your skin 
from someone who told you
"I do it because I love you"?

Can you imagine 
being scared to walk 
on campus, 
because someone you befriended, 
started to threaten you? 

Can you imagine? 

Can you Imagine 
never feeling good enough, 
like you mattered, 
never being treated right? 

Can you imagine 
the pain, 
the doubt, 
the self hate? 

Can you imagine
thinking there is something
wrong with you
because you never been loved 
properly? 

Can you imagine
the doubt
that comes when 
you get into a new relationship, 
the fright, 
the doubt your good enough?

Can you imagine??




Authors note: I hope you never can imagine. Gosh I really hope you never have to, you never go through this, I hope that you find good love that isn't toxic and that you hold on to it and cherish it.  Have a good night/Morning wherever you are. It's 4:12 am here and I am just basking in the fact that I no longer have finals, and the fact that I am home in my own bed and safe. Sending good thoughts, vibes and hopes your way.
