Scars

I'm okay. No, seriously. Oh. You're gone.

I turn away from the mirror.

I put foundation on to cover my scars.

I wear hoodies in the middle of June.

I make mistakes. So do you.

When you hurt me, I hurt myself.

My mistakes are smaller than yours yet so much bigger.

Can't you just accept me for who I am and let me live my life?

I know I can't do this much longer,

So I don't even want to try.

I scream silently for help.

But I'm just a kid. You have bigger problems.

I'm sorry I'm such a burden. Just live your life.

Don't worry about me.

Thank you. I'm so happy that you like my writing, it helps me so much. It's not as good as your poetry but I just tried to get my point across. 😓🙂

Poetry fortunately isn't rigid like our society has become. There are many types and many more that haven't been written yet. Yours are no different than mine or anyone else's . . . They need to be read.

Thank you I honestly can't believe that someone would like my writing I'm almost crying right now I'm just so happy that I'm able to share my writing and that people are reading it.

Keep writing, because the real bonus is that it helps heal us. Exposing our damage for ourselves to see, somehow helps heal
