Bare threads

It's all that's left,

After all they've done.

It happens so fast,

As I watch them run.

I have so many scars,

Which you never see.

Pieces and broken parts,

Is all that's left of me.

I sew myself back up,

And I never leave that place.

With thread left to spare,

I sew my painful smile on my sad face.

Author's Note

Ok, yes I've been in between a rock and a hard place, but this is what I've managed to be able to work into writing. Let me know what you think. Also no I'm not as depressed as these may appear, just letting you know.

I love the last line the best, it really puts a powerful metaphor to smiling what you don't really feel. Also, one thing I've learned about life? If you ever want to get better, you have to stitch your own wounds.

This poem says a lot about many different situations in life. Many people put a facade on whether we all choose to see it or not. Very good poem, my friend. I cannot wait t read more of your work.

But it's still a smile let me remind you. You will someday wear it more naturally.

Promise!

:))))

You write about it, and that's healing. That's good. If you were silent I was more worried. Such a beautiful poem, and even when it's sad, it's meaningful, it doesn't have to be always glitters and glamours, it's you, the pure you, and it's an amazing person. Very well done. Goodnight.
