Tortured
You don’t have to be all that you believe
Don’t compare yourself, don’t compare yourself tha-that girl
You don’t have to be all that you believe
Don’t compare yourself, don’t compare yourself tha-that boy
We’re both trying to break chains linked to our brains
Childhoods supposedly built us up but drove us insane
Insane for the drama, we both needed the pain
You needed a thug, while I needed a boo a little insane
No need for meth or crack, you always spit that
I gave you all that you could take and you threw it right back
Grinding against your body like I was trying to erase your tats
You sweating and purring for more, fucking pussy jammed pack
We’ve done this shit, fucking ripped the mask off of existence
Battle scars, yeah they’re still there but we roll with persistence
Adversaries met, they were begging but only got resistance
Beaten down, some stole, yet there was still subsistence
We didn’t give what we didn’t want
Because they took that doesn’t make us what they want
A larger aggressor placing a victim in their sights, fucking on point
We know that we were abused and still suffers from that haunt
You don’t have to be all that you believe
Don’t compare yourself, don’t compare yourself tha-that girl
You don’t have to be all that you believe
Don’t compare yourself, don’t compare yourself tha-that boy
So many chances at happiness, but the past keeps seeping in
Every time we stop the flow relationships start leaking again
You never wanted me, shit I was just an easy mark
Body thrashing, feinting passion, claiming you felt a spark
Deception after deception, yeah I committed the same sin
When asked about love and you, I didn’t know where to begin
This relationship, we both know is like us just pretend
Our beginnings of loneliness and pain committed us to our ends
Yes we hate to do it but the need to inflict our own pain always return
To throw logs of loneliness upon a pyre and watch it burn
Haunting memories being forgotten for the briefest of moments
Yet as our shadows they will always walk as our torment
You don’t have to be all that you believe
Don’t compare yourself, don’t compare yourself tha-that girl
You don’t have to be all that you believe
Don’t compare yourself, don’t compare yourself tha-that boy

A thug and an insane boo:)
What could go wrong - right?
Apparently - a lot. My best friend - who I have know since 7th grade - still to this
day compares a lot of men to her first love. Love her to pieces through all of the
heartache. It never works out. I guess it is hard to not compare. Usually a lot of unresolved
feeling involved. I don't like to assume every poem is based on current happenings in ones life.
Sometimes we write scenes we see in out mind as a poetry prompt.
Either way, this write has a lot of real gritty aspects to it.
Rooting or whoever this is about. I think everyone would hate to be compared
to someone else. We are all individuals with our own emotional presents waiting to be
gifted to someone who is worthy:)

Lots of times what you see now in a person is the result of earlier injuries. This is the result of what happens when two people comes together carrying the baggage of childhood abuse. There is so much pain the rays of light which is love can't penetrate the darkness of pain. Thanks Lady
