hurt can mean many things

like stubbing your toe

or scraping your knee

but the worst kind of hurt is getting your back stabbed

I am the girl to be the “therapist” to my friends

Always there for them

But becoming their friend I told them stuff that was personal

Because I trusted them

but now I don’t know what to do

because being there for people

I have also learned to be tough

I have been called a liar

I have been called selfish

I have been used

Someone even told me I had a mental problem

All for what

To turn around and to be their friend again

No

I have been hurt so bad that I don’t know who

To trust

I can’t let anyone in

Not knowing if they will do the same thing

The others did before

I am strong and brave and will always have a smile on my face

But that smile does not mean I am always happy

Because that is to cover up the pain

So, I can be there for my true friends and not hurt them

I want to be the best person in someone’s life

So, they wont have to deal with

The pain I have gone through

I may have been hurt

But that dose not define who I am

Or who I want to become

I don’t want to be the girl

That gets blamed for everything just because

They know I can handle it

I can’t handle it

But I won’t say that out loud

I will forever put the smile on

And say that I am fine

Even when I know I am not

Because I don’t want to let people know I have been

Hurt.
