The Hook.

I hold on. 

It is tearing me a part. 

I am suffering. 


It is bitter. 

Souring, curdling in my mouth. 

A blister in my throat. 


It is hard to move past it. 

I grit my teeth. 

I am suffering. 


Because you have hurt me. 

It seeps through my pores. 

It burns. 

 

I will never forget what you did. 

Because it scarred me. 

I am suffering. 


I am on the hook. 

I feel it piercing my core. 

Because I am holding on. 



"The only person who is on the hook when we hang on to resentment is ourselves. We are the ones who are suffering." J. Kristina
