There is so much love
That everyone has for you
That people use you
To take and take and take
They take through you even
Eventually making you the bad person
Shunned
Looked down upon
You are like me
You are my kin
Which means you probably hate disappointing others
But now people are disappointed in you
People you love
People you fear
You go silent then
Hopefully less noise is good news, they think
But who are you deceiving, sister
But yourself.
You know it's not your fault
But it's not time to grieve
It's time to show
Work now
To come of this hell hole
That others have buried you in.

Azmaing poetry about love and relations with kin. 💞💕

So well said, I commend you! (I think you left the word "out" from your next to the last line?). I cross off people who are proven to only come to me when they want something. OFF THE LIST. ❤️
Beautiful ❤️
This is so stunning and aptly put. Thank you for writing this! 💗
I can relate to your story as I am an empath and dreamer . The people that try to destroy us are just jealous and wish they could destroy our kindness and humility .
I can sure relate to this. You did a great job here. Thank you for this. Congratulations on your Top Story!!!

Ah, Manisha, this is beautifully penned. So very relatable. I think you eloquently described the pressure and how to get through that pressure. Well done on a beautiful Top Story!
Gosh this was extremely relatable! Unless we stand up for ourselves, people would continue to use us and blame us at the same time! Loved your poem! Congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
