It Hurts But You Did It: A Poem

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Waterloo chapter.

It hurts but you did it.

You said it, you told the truth

You feel hurt but you ended the pain

It hurts but you did it. 

 

You admit it that you lost 

You cried and screamed

It hurts but you did it.

 

You failed and succeeded 

You lost everything

But you gained something

It hurts but you did it.

 

You were aloof in a deep sea

You wanted an anchor

You tried to find it but you didn’t

It hurts but you did it.

 

You were lost in the abyss 

You wished someone found you 

But they couldn’t

It hurts but you tried.

 

You could’ve left but you didn’t 

You fought it all 

It hurts but you did it.

 

You said everything

You accepted everything 

You moved on 

It hurts but you did it. 

 

You ended all the pain 

You closed the chapter forever.

It hurts but you did it.
