Love Shouldn’t Hurt
Community Poem Heading link
What can I do to counteract Domestic Violence & the effect it has in my family, community, campus and communities?
What the fuck
The unnecessary oppression of the supposed loved one.
Don’t be indifferent to the pain of others
Taught to stay quiet, to swallow it
It’s not a cultural norm for Latin@s to expect violence in our homes, it has to end somewhere. The world is full of pain and I don’t like pain
Pain is only love in disguise.
Pain is the risk I’ll take for love
But is it really love?
What is love? Baby don’t hurt me
I can be a secure, trustworthy ear for someone who is hurting.
The memories hurt more than bruises. Smiling only to hide
Love is two equal human beings finding peace with each other.
Love is NOT fearing, doubting or hiding.
It’s looking at your neighbor, just to make sure they’re not dying. It’s helping them smile in the toughest situations.
Love is freedom, love is peace.
Love is fighting for what you believe in and making sure those around you live in peace
Love is not feeling down, love shouldn’t hurt! There’s a lot negativity in this world, let’s think different and promote change.
Few words of wisdom. The person who you love should never cause you harm of any type whether it’ll be physical, mental or physiological when people say that they are used to being hurt, that is sad and it should never happen because they have been hurt so much that it’s now normal for them, Especially if it comes from the person you love.
Love is powerful beyond measure, only you can define what love means to you and what you deserve. Never underestimate it
Love runs deep like pain like the pain I felt so deeply it changed me internally, physiology, I don’t even feel safe in my own body years after I “won”.
Cocaine, drug addiction… It’s a brutal world.. Stuck in the middle while my dad turned a monster, beated my mother…
Stuck in a rut making the best of what I have
I turn the other cheek and sit in wonder
Why does the light I seek leaves me
With a sound like thunder and beauty like listening
No blow from you I could ever feel could ever disintegrate the love I have for myself
I wonder if I’m dreaming. Never thought it could happen to someone I know or even myself. The person I thought would be there to protect me. It has to be a nightmare
If you see it, call it out, check your privilege
Puff that chest out to your brother, check that man that that resembles the I that punched your daughter
Walking through this world where men own your body because that’s how our world works
What the fuck is that? I don’t know
