Scars

by Brittany   Sep 16, 2008


Scars remain on my arms
To remind me of my darkest days
No matter how much time goes by
Nothing can bring me back lost blood
Or take away the endless pain

No one knows
I hide it too well
But if they happen to catch a glimpse of it
I say my cat did it
Because its a cat from hell

I know that they could never imagine
That I would do something like this
Because I'm always smiling
I'm always laughing
Making it seem that I live in happiness

Its all coming out now
I can't hold it in any longer
I'm afraid to be alone
Because I become sad as my mind ponders and wonders

I don't want to be happy
Sadness is like a drug to me
It gives me the attention that I want
But at the same time
People can really start to see

Can really start to see
See the real me

    Even though i wouldn't consider myself depressed or even having been sad for too long a time, i feel i can relate too. There have been times when it just seems easier to pretend the pain isn't there. Wonderful write. I really look forward to reading more of your poetry in the future.

    AH! I can really see where you're coming from with this poem. I've been there at one point and don't know if I got away from the pain or just kind of forgotten about it for a bit. Anyway I liked how I could empathize with your poem.
