Still Stupid.

Still Stupid.

A Poem by Jess Holden

The past that haunts me,

can't seem to teach me a thing,

it's only flaunting around inside my head,

the reminders written clearly in my skin.

 

The scars that I refuse to hide,

make people recoil in fear and disgust,

they look at me so darkly,

I hide myself away.

 

My mind which never sleeps,

keeps my body awake at night,

with visions of death and horror,

something I have grown use to.

 

The sight of blood never scares me,

the sounds of someone's last dying scream can't scar me,

the last breath from someone's lungs,

is almost a relief.

 

To know that someone is out of pain,

they can suffer no longer,

gives me hope for my own,

maybe one day I can too.

 

This past that haunts me,

has taught me lots of nothing,

just how to say goodbye,

and hope that I'm next.

It is dark, but darkly wise. Well done. -S...

Definitely sent a chill down my spine but a great read none the less. I would rather you express yourself productively then bottle up your emotions.

Although its dark, I love it! Its really cool, kinda bought chills in me. To get pt of pain, its never easy, but we gotta try, and kinda.. stay alive? When you say the look haunted people, I'm like, 'oh, why?' I mean, never judge one by its cover, it only deepens the pain. Never soften it. And the details you give the readers are all amazing and breath taking!
Amazing!

Well, as wonderfully written as this is (and I really do love it), I hope you're not next to say goodbye. I do hope you're out of pain, but not gone forever. Forever is a really long time, and I'm only just getting to know you.
