I survived.

I survived.

A Poem by Jess Holden

Stand up and fight,

don't hide away in the shadows,

let them know that you survived.

 

A weak moment,

unhappiness all around,

a frown plastered on your face,

with no escape to be found.

 

You hid it at first,

no one knows it can't hurt,

they think you're alright,

you think it'll all work.

 

Long sleeves and bracelets,

can only hide so much,

but the day will come,

that holds the evil touch.

 

Someone will notice,

that's what you don't seem to understand,

you're not alone in this,

I can give you a helping hand.

 

So stand up and fight,

don't hide away in the shadows,

speak up,

and let them know you survived.

Almost seems like a "cutter, cry for help" type poem. But I enjoyed this. Nice write.

This was a good poem. It was really deep. I agree with the words you said in this poem. I think everyone knows when they are a fighter and when they are not and just give up. This was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. :)

This is fabulous! There's such a sense of self in it. The depth and reality of the situation is just so pure. It's amazing that you're able to display to the public something so close and personal as true emotions.
