Scars

by Chris   Oct 6, 2010


I used to pretend I was Superman
Invulnerable to any possible harm
But now I'm done pretending
I'm done hiding my scars
I'm bearing them for the world to see
Those puncture wounds in my back you see
Come from people I thought were friends
Until they placed a dagger there
Why don't I have ears you ask
Ask those who lied to me
And took a piece with each lie
And what about my burnt eye
That came from seeing a lie
A memorable experience indeed
And lastly the cracks of a broken heart
Two caused by rejection or a dagger
And one caused by my own mistake
That crack is a pain unlike any other
Because you are your own worst enemy

    For me this was a little confusing to read, having double worded end lines are not a fave of mine anyway but i didnt feel like there was a structure to this, a backbone, it was a messy read, picking up on this and that but not joining it all together - i think the idea is there but it needs to be re-constructed more to be a stronger read. I did like the way you wrote of no ears because of piercing lies ect..that was a good take. IBE
