Scars, The Ones You Don't See

by Roses Bleed   Jan 15, 2013


My scars are all in the mind,
I have no cuts on my fore-arms,
Or any of it's kind.

But the hurt I feel,
The sorrow that presses at the back of my sight,
Wounds in my heart that will never heal.

I have never watched my blood go down my arm,
I have never felt the pleasure of that pain,
I am too weak to cause myself real harm.

Instead, my subconcious terrifies me with dreams,
Instead, I can no longer cry,
And no one is there to hear those screams.

In the dark on my own,
I imagine tearing myself apart,
Watching myself stand in a crowd, yet still alone.

Screaming as loud as I can,
Making my throat sore with the effort,
Yet no one extends their hand.

I never see the sun shine,
The blue of the sky is lost,
Like it was ever really mine.

Will this end?
I can't see the bottom of this chasm,
So I think I will just drop, and land.

    Ur poem is thoughtful. you seem keenly intellectual about your pain. perhaps its because of the careful choice of words (so seems to me at any rate).because of that i feel a certain objectivity hovers about your poem which says to me one of two things:your writing affords you an emotional distance from your suffering,or you are healthier than you give yourself credit for.wrong or right you provoked my thought and for that... thank you

      Well you are welcome for the thougth, and thank you for your comment, it also provoked a few of my own. I can say though, that my writing is my emotion, in a sense. I put it in all in my writing, mostly because I do not cause myself physical harm, for many different reasons, and writing helps take away the pain, that cutting does for others. I hope that explains it.
