The pain I felt could never be shown
So I took the pain from the inside out
All I wanted to do was shout

Now I love to see the scars
To me they’re just as beautiful as the stars
I try to keep this secret deep inside
But all the scars are getting hard to hide

No one understands my dark mind
Insanity is all that they find
I just can’t take the people here
They are the only thing I fear

My friends can’t help me, they just don’t understand
“Just stop right now,” they always command
I try to tell them its much too hard
My body is not the only thing scarred

My heart and mind are filled with pain
It feels as though I have been slain
Despair is all I’m left with in the end
Because the sharp razor blade is my best friend

MAN do I ever know how you feel! I feel like this came out of my OWN journal! Great job expressing your emotion. I too live in a place where no one understands what it's like to cut. I gave up trying to hide the scars, and ppl don't even know what they're from. They always think it's fro fr***ing easy, "Just don't do it." *pfft* If they only knew. One time, one of my friends likened it to biting her fingernails. I got really ***** cuz it's nothing like that. If you wanna talk, I'm always listening. I've gone through the cutting thing (*clears throat* still am there) and the suicide bit. So if you wanna vent or just have a regular convo, I'm here for ya. Good luck!

I completely understand. This is exactly my situation too. People just don't get why we do what we do. To us...the scars and cuts and blood is so enticingly beautiful. People just judge who ever they can without actually trying to understand them first. So if you ever need someone to talk to...I'd be more than happy to listen. Great poem...keep writing...your poetry will only get better and better.
Always,
Krystle
