Destructive girl

A little bit of how I feel right now, haha :)

You couldn't love a girl,
With scars on her wrists
And demons in her head.
She can't even love herself,
So how did you?

You made her feel special,
And gave her strength
To get through a days time.
You made her happy.

You made her stop drawing
Those silly little lines.
Almost as if your presence
Made her throw those blades away.

You make her smile,
On days
When she doesn't even wanna wake up.
You've become her everything.

You make her so happy,
I've never seen her like this.

I just wanna say,
Thank you.
For being everything I've ever needed.

This is a lovely thank you poem. so many are broken and sometimes another soul comes along with a light. My hope is always for those who stick it out when the light goes off. Are we capable of loving ourselves, flawed as we are, with demons in our heads? Just a rhetorical question. Your poem made me think.

This is wonderful, a truly beautiful piece:)

True love except the good and the bad.
"I just wanna say,

I like the tone and the flow of thoughts leading to the positive ending. We do need laughter, dance and good times. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Simply amazing. I can 100 % relate to it. It is too bloody emotional, and i love that. Thanks a lot for sharing it hun. :-)

That was really simple, yet surprisingly deep. Well done! ;)

we all feel unlovable at times .. being a cutter expresses pain beyond the coping skills most of us acquire .. i rejoice in the victory expressed in your poem .. it is a huge wonderful thing!!!

having read steve's comments and your responses i wish you well Alexis ... i am so glad you have found someone that sees who you are and loves you .. i am also very glad you have found the power of the pen .. which has proven through history to be more powerful than the sword and the blade .. God bless you as you continue to believe in yourself .. love yourself .. and in that love others .. more power to you! i for one am all for you .. let me know how things are going any time! :))
