Why Some People Are Addicted To Pain

Some of us are addicted to our pain
We hold on to it long beyond it’s gone
Not because we revel in drama
Or love ourselves some tragedy

We wear our trauma
Take it with us wherever we go
Because it’s been with us for so long
We don’t know who we are without it

  1. Pain. A universal language. Could relate ‘cos I am stuck in a toxic marriage. If only I knew how to stop loving him I would be able to leave him.

    1. Hi Melanie,
      I really felt your comment. All I can say is that you don’t have to stop loving someone to leave them, you only need to put your dignity, safety, and mental health above everything else. Take good care of yourself and I wish you all the courage in the world to do what’s best for you.
