Won't I ever get
tired?

Tired...
of the hurt
you caused me?

Won't I learn?

Learn to leave you alone?

The only thing I've learned from you...
Is to no longer
wipe away the tears
that run down my face,
Because the new ones u bring,
will wash the old ones away.

Everytime I open up

Someone has let me down

Not only dissappointment

but hurt and sorrow
is what u leave.

Full of regets
is all that I am now

Wishing and hoping
not to make the same mistakes

they say...
to hurt is to grow

When will I stop growing?

To hurt is to grow when you have learned the lesson
At that point you will no longer be second-guessing
Did I leave at the appropriate time
Or did I continually let "them" cross the line
Yes, we can forgive, but lest we never forget
The lessons learned thru our hardships
Like a child who touches the hot stove, we must learn
Otherwise, we will constantly be burned
That was some deep poetry you wrote sis.
If that is something you actually have or am going thru, I'm sorry and I only hope these encouraging words help.

I am a witness hurt does help you grow. It's not the best feeling but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Whenever I feel like I can't make it I have to constantly remind myself that through christ I can do all things.Keep y our head up girl cause I feel the same way right now.
