It was that day when I was told the most hurtful thing in my life.
It was that day when I couldn't hold back my tears.
The verbal abuse was real!
It was that day when I wanted to give up.
Opportunities were there to be taken.
But I didn't even try.
The pain that words caused just made me want to break down and cry.
No one hurt me physically,
but those words took away a part of me.
It was that day when my tears shed the colour black.
I was willing to mess up my makeup at that time and place.
So I cried a waterfall with mascara running down my face.
