"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

You hurt me
so you can feel big
my confidence
snaps like a twig
the slippery slope
goes straight downhill
and as I fall
I loose freewill.
Once at rock bottom
I slowly drag
and I'm silently waving
a thousand white flags
You're lifting me up
back in the air
but it doesn't matter
the scars are still there

More about verbal abuse, like talking behind backs and stuff but I suppose it could also apply to physical abuse. Whatever you want really.
