Array ( [sid] => 79540 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => **These Scars*** [time] => 2005-01-12 02:01:48 [hometext] => a poem about a popular escape for many...but u can fight it [bodytext] => Looking down at my thigh,
these scars tell my story,
of a time when I was heartbroken
, when nothing was holy
Of a time when I was sad,
and I had to pick up the knife,
I envisioned no hope
amongst my blackened life
I felt so worthless,
after he turned me away
I guess by hurting myself
, I could heal quicker someday.
My heart felt dead,
I thought I was trapped in a fog,
with nowhere to turn to,
trapped in life’s smog
These cuts were my dark escape,
my only refuge,
from his evil presence
and his betrayal so huge.
The loneliness was killing me,
and I found no other way,
other than to draw my own blood
, to survive the hurt of another day
No one knows of my battle wounds,
not a single soul,
nobody is aware of the true pain I felt,
or how my spirit he stole
These scars used to be bloody,
fresh and alive,
but now I feel better,
I found a way to survive
I look at these scars now
and feel the stab of shame,
but deep down I tell myself,
“its not yourself you should blame.”
For we all are hurt,
and many out there make them selves bleed,
although it is hard,
hope is all we need.
I gaze in to the mirror,
I don’t see a saddened girl,
I realize he didn’t deserve me,
I’m too much of a pearl
The knife is no longer my escape,
I pick up the blade no more,
I am certain there is a future out there for me,
a world I can explore
These white scars are in my past,
never to be awakened,
never to bleed again,
my misery has been taken
Just throw away the sorrow,
don’t make your self hurt,
throw away that knife,
and in others find comfort
I am a new person
I won’t let him pain me anymore,
you can do it too,
and happiness is in store
