Kind Eyes and a Warrior’s Soul

What is abuse?

It is mistreating something or someone

It is letting hurtful words roll off your tongue

It is conniving and viscous 

Damaging and malicious

It leaves wounds the size of planets

In a world that will swallow you whole if you let it

It deteriorates your sense of self

It robs you of your mental health

It wears you down and beats you up

It makes you feel like giving up

Forgiving your abuser is the only way

Do it for yourself, do it today

You are strong and valiant, and despite it all

You still have kindness in your eyes and a warrior's soul
