Hard to Love

She is broken, 
She is a mess,
Picked up pieces that where left,
She learned to love again,
She learned to love herself.

She is damaged,
She is scared,
Gets stuck in her head,
From abuse that left her dead,
She has risen from the ashes,

She overthinks,
She zones out,
Quietness is her enemy,
Reliving trauma she escaped,
She learned to be a warrior.

Loving her will be hard,
Honesty is what she wants,
Never push her away,
Pull her in closer,
Always remember,
She is broken,
She is a mess.
