truth

Folder: 
primitive

are you really able to understand?

do you want to carve your skin

with sharp objects, frequently?

i'm sure you do.

do you hate yourself so much that all you do

is try to show people you're ok

or build yourself up

only to fall flat into a dead end?

do you get so lonely

that your entire being cries out in aching pain

for someone to embrace it?

is your mind so dirty

it thinks unspeakably vile things constantly?

is your heart so abused

you feel like you're going to die?

do you really feel this?

are you really able to understand?

I really like this poem. I especially like how you start and finish on the same note. Good job.
