When those who hurt you
come around,
do not sugarcoat your pain
just because
you had loved them once.
And do not
let them take you for granted
nor give them
the power to hurt you again.
Pain is pain,
and when they gave it to you,
they did not
sugarcoat it, dip it in wine,
disinfect it
or render it poisonless.
You had to
take it raw, undiluted and
unrefined with
all its nutrients in place.
And lessons —
they are the best of nutrients.
