Born in the fire
by a Local Juvenile Domestic Violence Survivor

I was raised in a house where love was a war,
Where silence was deadly and slamming doors roared.
The battles were daily, the scars still remain,
And I thought that love meant living with pain.

I learned that a promise could shatter like glass,
That "forever" was fragile and never would last.
No one ever showed me how love’s supposed to feel—
I thought hurting each other was part of the deal.

So, I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you, if I broke you apart,
If I didn’t know how to handle your heart.
I was taught that love was cruel and unkind,
And I’ve been fighting the ghosts they left in my mind.

I never saw tenderness, never knew peace,
Just screaming and fighting, a hope that would cease.
I’m trying to unlearn the damage I’ve known,
But love, when you’re broken, feels hard to call home.

So, to whoever I hurt, past or yet to come,
I’m sorry for not knowing what love could become.
I’m still teaching myself how to hold on, not fight,
To offer a love that feels gentle, feels right.

But sometimes the past has a grip on my chest,
And I hurt the ones that I wanted to bless.
I’m sorry if I ever made you feel small,
I’m still learning that love isn’t anger at all.

I’m sorry for the damage I carry inside,
For the ways that it pours out when I try to hide.
I’m trying to heal, but the road’s long and steep,
And sometimes I drown in the love that I seek.

So, if you’ve been hurt by my hands or my heart,
Know that I’m mending, but still torn apart.
I was born in the fire, but I’m learning to heal,
Learning that love is tangible and real. ... See MoreSee Less
