Cruel To Be Kind
written by: Ameena k.g

She was taught as a kid,
It was all in good spirit,
When harsh words were hurled at her.
So she grew up thinking,
Maybe love was hidden,
Behind hurtful remarks.
She was taught as a teen,
Man is cruel to be kind,
When the bullies would get physical.
So she married a man,
Who displayed love through fist,
Blaming every mistake on her.
She was taught as a kid,
How to smile through the pain,
That it’d only make her braver.
So she grinned and faked it,
Hid her scars and hurting,
Believing it would make her a brave heart.
Until one sullen morning,
Her weak heart gave away-
She was gone before medics arrived.
They labeled her death- sudden;
Unaware she’d been wilting,
Since the first ever lesson she’d had.
My name's Ameena... I'm a medical student and a self appointed mental health advocate; a black coffee drinker, a school lover, an obsessive thinker and a hearty laugher.
I love a good joke any day and Poetry is my passion.
