Victim Of Self Harm

by *Cosmic*Whispers*   Apr 18, 2006


Quietly, quietly
Cry these tears at night
Only way to tell
That I'm not alright

Secretly, secretly
Nobody must know
Keep making lame excuses
So the cuts will never show

Gracefully, gracefully
Laugh and joke along each day
If I let the smile slip
They'll realize that I'm not OK

Desperately, desperately
Climb the walls of my caged mind
Looking for a key
That I know I'll never find

Slowly, slowly
My heart breaks before you eyes
There's no true happiness in me
There's just despair cloaked in disguise

Carefully, carefully
I hide my fragile form
Eating less and less
Pretending this is just the norm

Gently, gently
I stroke the marks upon my arm
Lying alone, blood trickles slowly
Another victim of self harm

    Such a great poem this is. I really like how it's not just about the same thing but an array of things but in the end it's all tied together because it harms yourself. Thanks for the read.
