These scars

by gasping for air   Dec 8, 2005


I look at these cuts,
These scars imbedded in my arm,
They represent all of the times,
That I've hurt.
All of the times,
That I cried,
And wanted to make the tears stop.

Every last one,
I made to release the pain,
And stop the tears.
I made them to open people's eyes,
To make people see,
That I'm hurting inside,
And I need their help.
But no one's noticed,
No one's breathed a word.

Now I look at them,
With anger,
These pink and red scars,
Stand out against my pale skin.
Yet no one says a word of encouragement,
Or even reprimand.
No one asks where they're from,
No one even notices they're there,
When they're so obvious to the human eye.

I always have said no one cares,
About me or what happens to me,
Perhaps in a way I am wrong,
But in a way I am right too.......

    This is a very good poem, Alot of us can say that we know how you feel, many of us have gone through what you have gone through.
