Heart

I wrote this poem to myself after some things my friend had said.

Those scratches,

You hold close to yourself.

That show on your arms,

Your thighs,

And your heart.

But they show something untrue.
They say that you don't believe.

That you are beautiful,

Strong, Tall and smart.

And its all because people decided to start,

Pulling at the strings,

That make you, you.
Finding loose threads,
Just to unravel your heart.

Author's Note

Eh, Not my best work.
But If anyone has comments, Be sure to tell me!
Thanks!

The poem is deep and honest. Marks, scars or scratches are reminders of things gain and lost.
"Finding loose threads,
Just to unravel your heart."
Locked heart is safe and a unravel heart will touch joy and pain. I liked the poem. Made me think and ponder your words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
