just a quirky child

she could have screamed

as i flew through the air

yelling harsh words again

as i crashed through the railing

 

i wish they had asked

any one time that

i was sent out of class

"why do you act up so much?"

 

 

but no one notices

it's just a quirky child

comes early, stays late

great family, they say

 

no bruises ever show up

scars hidden by the clothes

with self inflicted wounds

that just won't heal

 

wish i had been beaten

thrown against the wall

because indifference hurts

so much more than that

I fully appreciate reviews, especially when they tear apart my work in an attempt to make it better. Rip, tea, break it down. Tell me how you do not like it, how to make it better. I want your opinion. Truly.

indifference does hurt. emotional scars are much deeper and harder to heal than physical scars. beautiful poem. well written, flows smooth as silk. deeply moving.

Thats incredibly moving, simple and efective (sometimes it can be a bit choppy with the words but that dosent matter) , the last line "because indifference hurts so much more than that" is heartbreaking.
