I hide myself

 

Hiding cuts

Hiding scars

Hiding emotions

 

Behind my veil

Behind my mask

Behind my covers

Are my scars

 

Behind it all

I am scarred

Emotionally and physically

 

Hide myself

Away from the world

Away from myself

 

Who am i?

What have I become?

I don’t know anymore

 

Help me

Help me find myself

But you cant

 

No one can

I am lost

Broken

 

Give up on me

Everyone else has

Your no different

 

I am worthless

I am pathetic

I am nothing

 

Wast of space

Wast of breath

Wast of life

 

Throw stones at me

Throw knives at me

I don’t care

 

You cant find me

Not in this house

I hide myself

I wish I could hide sometimes. With age. Our skin get harder and thicker. We can't allow the negative people to slow us down. People love to look for weakness. Those are the people we need to stay away from. A lot of emotion and question in this poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

"You can't find me/ not in this house/ I hide myself" beautiful, I would love to applaud you in person! And you are NOT a waste, nor are you nothing, you are a poet, as I can see, and a talented one too :)

I find myself at this point very often so this piece has a great meaning to me. It was quite a dark and sad piece.

Dark piece. I feel like sometimes.

a very candid poem. heart-rending cry for help, which is a good sign as it shows a willingness to reach out. Very sad to read the waste of space stanza, it seems we have to love ourselves for starters, not easy i know when our self concepts are poor. i can relate to this kind of write from my younger days, when hurting myself was a way of quieting my tortured mind... although my way of acting out that way was quite mild compared to others. I would say my way out of all that mess was when i started reading self-help books, as i wasn't able at that time to trust anyone enough to allow anyone close to me. Anyway. Great poem. Thanks.

I've been there also. I've done things I'm not proud of it seems that no one is there when you really need them to be. And I've also learned that God will always be here for us when we need Him. So that's definitely a comforting thought that we're never really alone or unloved or not cared about.
As always, you've done a wonderful job or expressing your emotions and thoughts in the writing. Very nicely done.
