@avant-garde haha that's my saying the sugar honey iced tea 😂.
But in all seriousness I do hope you are ok and know that I'm here for you ♥️
My day has been so messed up, I just want to sleep but I can't. Need a magic off switch so I can turn these thoughts off.

I know you are sweetheart.
I'm writing today's poem and something unfamiliar is coming out, a concept of sorts
So hear me out.
As a child were little balls of clay
Our experiences make and shape us to ideally be who we are meant to be
Except when abuse happens and instead of gently guiding us into the beautiful people we want to be, we're shaped to become the human the abuser wants us to be. Instead of a delicate hand of guidance, it's a forceful hand of control making you fit that mould.
All the while saying and doing everything they can to prevent you embodying who you are going to become.

@avant-garde oh my word, I don't even know what to say. Those words are so powerful and true and really hit home for me. You really are amazing with writing poems, I miss writing them but all that ever comes to me now is a few random lines, not enough to write a whole poem.
Just sending you gentle hugs aswell ♥️

This is an excerpt
the bruises that they heal
but the words, they're something else
the internal scarring that they cause
that's the pain they cause
every word a weapon
to the kicked and beaten soul
until you can't recognise
who you are at all
before you even knew
he was forcing you to fit
hurting you as you grew
when he didn't like that bit
you may appear normal
but he shaped you like a doll
making you fit the mould
that he knows so well
