emotional abuse hurts,

in many ways, people think it doesn't.

but it does, it hurts like no other.

emotional abuse causes you to think things you shouldn't be thinking.

you could be happy and that one word or phrase could send you into a living hell. a circus of emotions. 

the evil insecurities riding on tricycles, the laughing anxiety that's walking on a rope pointing at you as it keeps getting closer, the depression clown squeaking its black nose at you every time you smile.

it hurts

pain in your chest. 

feeling like pressure you could be feeling like a stick poking at your weak spots repeatedly until you drowned in your tears.

 sometimes blood, unseen bruises it hurts every time you breathe, it hurts when you speak, feel, or smile. 

it will never go away for as long as you live
