Poet's note: This poem deals with the emotions that a girl still happens to feel even after getting out of a toxic and emotional abusive relationship.
I wrote "Emotions" in December 2020, as a means of expressing my novel character's emotions while being stuck in a relationship that is one-sided and it's her only way of venting about what she felt whilst she was with this individual.
I never first-hand experienced what it was like to be in a relationship dealing with emotional abuse, but I was once a victim of a friend-group that targeted me using my emotions as a weapon to get to me. I think poetry is the best way to express one's emotions and therefore it led me to creating a heartfelt yet broken poem as this one.
