Hurt By Makanakaishe Gunda

She watches the scene unfold before her, feeling an itch that warns her of their impending arrival. She takes a strained, deep breath, using all her strength to hold back the tears.

With every accusatory tone he uses, her heart aches. Each time he raises his voice, she winces. Does he know the power his words wield? She wonders. She tells herself that he is not all that bad.

No one is. She understands that people have moments of weakness when their emotions overwhelm them completely. In those moments, the words spoken by those who have lost control are often unintentional.

Yet, she has one question that she desperately needs an answer to: Does her understanding stop the pain, frustration, and growing rage?
