All These Scars

It is our life, but we fight to stay sane...

Another day I am sitting here alone

Another night I am digging deeper

No one understands the darkness

I have all these scars 

They are bleeding through my white blouse

They are staining my ripped jeans

It's a war I can't seem to win

So many scars

This is my hell

My living hell

I just want to stop

Never walk again

Break down 

I guess I was born to fail

I always seem to break the rules

While all my scars are breaking open

They are bleeding more

Hiding secrets

Secrets of a war

My war

Our war

Scars that follow a path

Telling stories

I'm a walking nightmare

All alone in the dark

What do y'all think?

I give all my inspiration to Joel Faviere & his song The War Against Ourselves <3

I tried to leave the words simple in this one...

Powerful use of words and thoughts.
"Hiding secrets
Secrets of a war
My war
Our war"
The above lines were my favorite. Those secret battles leave deep scars and bad memories. Thank you Starr for sharing the excellent poetry.

The word choice is amazing! These were definitely my favorite lines:
"Hiding secrets

Our war"
I always love your longer poems, they tend to store so much emotion and you express it very well!

[Starr]

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate your reviews. I am so glad you like maybe love my poems

Just from a literal sense, this poem contains like three awesome different stories in between the lines.

I'll admit that I found it a bit weird how you specifically described the clothing, but other than that this was awesome.

Well done!

[Starr]

Yea, I wanted some oddness and unusual things to be placed in this one, for example, the clothing. Thanks so much!
