Hurt People

  Maybe he was important to her story?

  But she never knew his name.

  And he never kissed her face.. .

  So it probably didn't matter, who knows?

  But maybe he was important to her story.

  That guy she can't picture.

  Who never met her, ever.

  But holds half her DNA.

  And maybe he was important too.

  Like the man he tried to replace.

  Almost her father

  In name and in face.

  But he wasn't perfect either.

  He cracked her fragile shell.

  She wasn't sure how it happened

  So she felt she couldn't tell.

  Maybe he was important to her story too

  The first guy she thought she loved.

  Who kissed her face, called her names

  And touched her until she was surely DONE.

  Maybe he also mattered to her tale.

  The first man to fight the bullies

  In her head and out of doors

  Who told her not to put up with them any more.

  He gets a mention too :

  The one who said she was a stunning work of art

  Who gained nothing from his saying

  But closed a crack in her small strained heart.

  Maybe he deserves a chapter here

  Who let her learn that weakness can be strength.

  She learned to cry she learned to fight

  Accidentally, in the shelter of his wings.

  Hey! She is in here too :

  The person who knew everything about her.

  And still said with a hug and all her truth,

  'I wanted you to know, that I am proud of you.'

  You might have a chapter too

  Without you even knowing.

  Which she may have written down

  with no emotion showing.

  Hopefully this story ends with a smile on her face

  Because she deserves it, and you do too.

  Just

  like everybody else

  In this broken hearted place.
