PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is always something to remind me

That I am not good enough

Something in the back of my mind

Telling me to just give in and give up

Words hurt like hell and slice right through my soul

The crimson tears that fall only create in me an empty hole



Seems like I have been bleeding forever

That I should have run out of more to bleed by now

But all this pain and agony ends never

All I can do is wonder why and how



Slicing through my flesh,

Creating another wound, another slash

Wishing for once I could just be numb

Or that I could end all of this fast



Day after day my body is infected by more scars

I am suprised that there is any flesh that is bare

As I gnaw into my skin some more

Feeling that none of this is at all fair



How did I get this way?

How did I get lost in the dark?

Once I had eyes that shined

and a heart so young and free

Now my heart is in tangles

and my eyes have only grown weary



They say it is just a passing phase

That the teenage years are just really rough

Time would make it all better

But it never does, it only gets more tough

Enough if enough!
