Array ( [sid] => 178128 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Scars [time] => 2014-04-08 02:03:17 [hometext] => [bodytext] => You want to know how I got these scars?
I got them by swallowing my pride, telling myself its my fault
and if I change it will all be over, but it clawed its way out
tearing everything in its way and telling me to leave you
but how can I when I love you.

You don't understand that not everything
can be switched off, not everyone can forget their feelings
and chase their dreams, not everyone can forget their
roots and run being pushed by the wind. Not everything
is that easy.

So you want to know how I got these scars?
I got them by telling my self that you might be different
you might understand, but you were never truly here
to listen were you?

With a love like that you hardly have to ask. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 61 [informant] => mick [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

I can most certainly relate to that. Some people don't realize that they're the cause of our pain and misfortune then they ask "How did you get those scars?" Then we're like, "You should remember."
Wonderful poem :)

I can so relate to your words - to the honesty your write takes one to. Scars make up the majority of all of us - yet so few can understand their start. Very intense write - thank you for telling the scars story, P

So sorry you're having to go through this pain. Thanks for sharing an emotional write. Just know that you've made a difference in many lives with this website.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
