Learning how

I didn’t know how

To cope with those who were mean to me
I turned away and simply listened
To the words of “let it be”

The fact that I never said something back
Was not helping me
They used me just to have some fun
The pain that caused me, they’d never see.

I wouldn’t let them, see me cry
Then I’d just walk away
I became a shy, polite quiet girl…
A good student, they would always say.

The way I’ve changed and how I’ve grown
I can not explain
But I’m finding peaces of the way
Where they can’t cause me pain
