Pain

I want this pain to end,

I wish it would just disappear.

I've tried many things to stop it,

That just gave me scars.

I wanted so bad to find a different way

To escape from the pain I am reminded of every day.

At first I thought cutting would help me,

But now I am realizing,

That all that did was add to my pain.

I look at myself in the mirror,

And I can't help but think,

Was that really what I wanted?

Why was I so stupid,

And try to end the pain?

All I really needed was to know that someone truly cared.

All I really wanted was to know that someone is there.

No, what happened was not right,

And no, it wasn't fair,

That I became a loner,

Too scared to talk to people.

Maybe now things can be different,
Maybe I am safe.

Maybe I won't flinch away

When friends try to hug me.

I know it kills them to see me

In so much pain.

I know they want to help me,

They just don't understand how.

I've tried to tell them,

I've wanted to a lot.

I'm just too scared to tell them what is wrong.

I think I finally found a way,

to let out my feelings, and wash the pain away.

I now feel so powerful,

I feel I can make it through,

I just need a little help from y'all who care.
