The Pain Of Abuse

Despite all of this hurt and pain; I know that I will be okay.

It still hurts.
Every time it takes another piece of me, breaks me down a little more, and makes my wounds feel brand new.

It isn't fair how excuses are always made for you.
You have no real reason for doing what you did or what you continue to do.

I don't understand how you have taken so much from me and yet it still isn't enough.

I'll never understand choices you've made, or how hurting someone who did everything to help you comes so easily.

I never did anything to deserve what you've done to me.
I did everything I possibly could to make it stop.
I'm not at fault here.
Sure I wasn't perfect, but nothing I ever said or did was cause for your actions.
I never lashed out in spite.
Or attempted to get even with you.
Not once, not ever, and not even now.

Nothing you do will ever make this right.
Nothing you say will ever take away the pain and disrespect I've felt for years and will probably feel for the rest of my life.
Not amount of counseling or therapy will ever make these memories fade.

Just know nothing could ever make what I've been through okay.

I wish you could understand how much pain I am in; I am in physical pain from being so heart broken.
I've cried so much the tears don't even fall anymore.
I feel like I'm dying and there is nothing that can help me.
No medicine to fix the pain I am in.
There are no words or enough sympathy to make my hurt go away.

You may say I wasn't abused, or that you weren't abusive.
My scars and bruises aren't visible to you, but the damage is there.

Despite all of this hurt and pain; I know that I will be okay.
I know this isn't the end of my story.
One day, some how, some way; I will be healed.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
