What hurts is the silence.
When the insecurities breathe down your neck calling you by name.
Telling you you're not worth it to anyone
But someday you'll be worth it to that one-
Person who has waited for someone like you.
To pull them out of the darkness
That engulfs them
To wipe the tears
That drown them
To kiss the scars
That clothe them
To show that person the light
That will be the guide to something better
Something unseen through the pain, hurt and hatred
A light that can pull you from the past-
Shake you from the grasp of the worst monster you've ever known.
Someday you will see that this is what you've done for me.
