I Hope This Makes You Happy Now

Missing image
Wearing black on black
Thrown around like trash
But tonight she’s decided
She won’t take him back
Looking in the mirror
Contacts to see clearer
The defeat in her eyes
Persuading her to crawl nearer
Bruises decorate her skin
My god, she’s so thin
And now she is determined
To not let him win
His affection is fake,
Always willing to take,
“I’ll never be enough.”
She says as she breaks.

****

Sinking to the floor
This time’s worse than before
Anxiously awaiting the moment
When he’ll walk through that door 
His fists are prepared
It’s not like he’d care
He’s done so much damage,
She can’t be repaired
Cut open with fear
Choking back tears,
“You’ll never be enough.”
He says in her ear.

****

Hiding safe in her bed,
Fresh wounds bleeding red
“I’ll never be enough.”
I repeat in my head.

    This poem was just perfect. So much emotion. I loved the background. I loved the picture. I loved the poem. It was absolutly flawless. I absolutly loved when you went along the whole poem saying her and then changed it to first person. So that people finely realise that she's talking from personal experience!! Amazing and best of luck in my contest.

    This is so terribly sad. This makes me feel for you, for all of you...(not trying to steriotype). To have someone tell you you aren't good enough n u never will be. I have felt like that b4 but never in this sence. This makes me think of that song "with a broken wing" I loved the write with this, it really flowed! Bravo...and I am so sorry.

    This is so awful and sad and...EVIL of him! (whoever he is) Did this actually happen to you? IF so I hope you dumped the asshole! I for one want to kill him!!!!
    Anyway, the poem was genius. I think it was great the way you changed from 3rd to 1st person at the end. That line, "I'll never be enough" makes me shudder (& want to cry)

    Youth

    Amazing as it seems I read poems from many young women much like this. Why , I ask, do they allow brutes and knaves into their young lives. Do they not understand that they are setting the table for their future choices. To think it is love? Well I can tell you it is not. Free yourself enjoy your youth & let love come later when it can be real.

    "Sinking to the floor
    This time’s worse than before
    Anxiously awaiting the moment
