He sits being torn through words of scorn
The realisation is starting to form
Through broken letters of hate and neglect
One finds his own inner respect
Now understands what they call "forgiveness"
Even though these lines are relentless
They're broken attempts to dismay his heart
These segregate demons apart
For he is now a growing system
Growing stronger in rhythm
Accepting light in new places
Welcoming new faces
All he desires is be the best he can be
That being said
"He" is me

Sometimes when someone is verbally abusing you. You need to remember words aren't always meant in tone spoken, and not everyone knows your story.
