Hurt So

[partial_charge]

Isn't it so sad
that we let them hurt us so?
And we carry that hurt so close,
so now we hurt each other
so badly,
with so little thought
or effort.
So let's leave
the hurt they left with us
so far behind
that we can say all the things
we need to say,
just so,
without fear
or shame
of being so fully ourselves.
