Scarred

by katie!   Mar 27, 2005


I stare at myself in the clouded mirror
At the scars lighting up my faded skin
Shiny fresh blood trickles away down my arms
As I wonder how did all this begin

Why can't I smile a true smile, not one so fake
As I pretend everything is alright, everything is good
Why can't I stop, bleeding myself away
I honestly wish that I could

Am I weak to cry that about my gran
When other have it so much worse than me
Is it wrong for me to hurt when I get bullied everyday
Is this what I am supposed to be

Scarred on my body everywhere that I look
But I have also these scars hidden in my mind
As I smile and I laugh yet inside I am cold
Those smiles a dark cloak I hide the real katie behind...
