Trying To Hide Them

A parade of a thousand red and white and purple scars

holding hands between a paperclip and a razor

they both get the job done. 

I sinned and I grinned and I cried and I'd hide

but when all was said and done 

there's so much I wish I could take back

I wish a pill could fix these issues 

or make up for the sleep I lack

I wish I could get over the guy that I talk to 

everyday but he could never love 

me with the fervor I love him with. 

Well we all crash to our knees sometimes

we all scream into our pillows

we all have our flaws

but what comes then? 

We all have our demons, we all have our scars

and sooner or later, we stop trying to hide them.

I seriously got shivers while reading this.
We are all broken.
Love to death "I sinned and I grinned and I cried and I'd hide" && the last line
Love how you structured everything.

The whole poem makes me think of a quote I heard once. "Your writing is beautiful. Your mind must be a terrible place."
Virtual hugs go to you, also.

Indeed.

After all, isn't hiding what is inside just another way to lie? Enough time goes by and one could find oneself telling many lies, over and over. It gets tiring. In the end, we want it; that one thing that we cannot have. Even if it's unattainable, even if it would be considered wrong by many, we still want it.

And the wanting damns us.

Powerful piece. It's hard and it's painful and it's real. I like it.
