My Scars
Printive learned to hide my scars
the ones under my sleeves
cuz people treat me different
when they see whats underneath
they ask me if im suicidal
but i answer with no reply
i just put my head down
and i silently cry
they dont know the pain
that i went through everyday
they dont kno that sorrow
i try to forget each day
they never see the tears
that i cry every night
they only see the scars
i tried to keep from sight
they only try to judge me
and say that it iz wrong
i tried many times to stop
but that feeling dont last long

I like this, it's deep. Pretty good, and it's relatable. Take Care! :p
I try to understand why people would self harm, and would never judge anyone. I think your poem is truly a great well written poem, that everyone should look at. Now I have more insight. I always had a lot of empathy. and my heart goes out to you. I care. I suffer from Depression, the feelings you have. I have too.
I just want to thank you, for the education, and wish you, my very beat love and best wishes. Please seek help. in my thoughts and prayers. Pete.
This is a wonderful piece. It's a tough subject to take on and you took it on and did a great job. Thank you for this.
A very sad and so often true expression of how some people cope with their sorrows. Nice pen. :)
Good one dear ,
take care god bless
This is a great poem. The words are deep, powerful and moving. I give it 5 stars. Keep up the good work.
thanks
I am a former self-injurer..... mostly. I had a minor relapse, but I think that's through.. Anyway, I understand how it is to be judged for scars. I have to wear long sleeves to job interviews. There is a great deal of stigma around self-injury and mental health in general. Mostly, I don't care if people judge me for that or anything else. It helps sort through the jerks more quickly. It just sucks with jobs and such things since society's just one big popularity contest. C'est la vie. Peace.
Congratulations on the Poem of the Week! Very powerful poem and I felt your while reading this. Stay strong babygirl :)
Oh my gosh. When I read this poem, I thought to myself, this could be writing the poem. As it was exactly how I felt. Every world had a powerful story withing it that expresses pain and emotions. You have a wonderful skill.
I know what you're feeling. haven't gone that far but , close. Keep mwriting and letting it out, it does help.
Wow this was sad to read but yet relatable to those who suffer from self-harm and have thought about committing suicide. It's never the answer and the best solution is to always stay strong and keep your head up despite whatever you're going through. Nice job
