I Am Hurt Poem by Sharron Stephenson

I am scared I am nerves I am one
I am alone I am living I am free
I am up am down I am hard
I am soft I am here I am a woman
I can love I am not to be loved I am used
I can hurt but I can not be hurt by you
I am day I am night I am all things

I am light I am dark I am human
I am not a punch bag I am not a bruise
I am not a fire I am not a break a bone
I am not a fight I am not a black eye
I am not a bloody nose I am not a target
I am not a witch I am a woman
I am hurt but I can not be hurt by you
