I got whipped today.

Whipped where scars isn't even visible yet painful,
wounds that won't hinder your movements but your emotions.

Lashed by unnecessary insults,
sugar-coated harsh compliments.

Beaten by hateful glares,
undeserved cold shoulders.

Thrashed ‘til I can’t breathe,
‘til I was numb to defy.

Whipped with words from people that I value the most.
