Quite Awful

by H. Elizabeth   Feb 16, 2013


They burn.
The cuts beneath my clothing.
Everytime my pants rub against my leg.
Everytime my shirt lifts up.
They'llSeeThey'llSeeThey'llSee.
The cuts.
I'll be exposed.
My secret no longer kept a secret.
"Attention beggar"
"Freak"
"Weirdo"
Names I've been called in the
Past
Present
Future.
Names that may possibly be true.
This poem is quite awful.
I don't know what to write about.
So I chose self-harm.
As always.
The easiest thing for me to write about.
