Scars

You don't even see the scars anymore

But I still feel the need to hide them

No one cared then

They don't care know

I'm drowning

There's no one to save me

And the surface is getting further away

My hand reaches out

There is only air

The pale light is fading even more

Sometimes i want to do it again

They told me they'd lock me away

I imagine a strait jacket

Me screaming

A padded cell

.....I'm scared and lonely

I wish someone would save me from myself

I emphizaie with this very much. Wonderful poem.

[Lila Baumann]

This poem is immensely personal, I presume. I really do like it and empathize with it. The first two lines and the last really grab my attention. Truly understand the voice behind it, well done. Anything touching upon topics such as mental illness or self-harm has a strong chance of becoming cliche or romanticized in a way... but this is raw and authentic.. if that makes sense. Now I'm rambling.

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad and scary poem. It is frightening when we cannot see any good in our life. I could feel the disappointment and loneliness in the poem. I like the direct closing of the poem. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

This is a very good poem about how lonely it feels when no one understands us. I know how this feels, it's lonely even when people are around you.

Like this, even if it is very sad for such a young person to write like this.
