Why Is iT A Crime Because I Have Scars?

Contributed by deathdrop on Thursday, 29th July 2004 @ 02:36:00 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



It's funny to see,
Who don't turn away,
And who does.
Some people look at me funny,
'Coz i'm the girl,
That cut.

I try to smile,
But I just keep my head down.
Or else i'll see their faces,
And their staring frowns.
'Coz i'm the girl,
That suffered too much,
So one day,
Decided to cut.
I'm the girl,
Who'd had enough...

I keep my head down,
Move slowly on.
If i'm so bad,
What have I done wrong?
Remove the pain,
From deep inside?
WELL THEN!
LOOK AT ME!
TELL ME!
WHY THATS A CRIME?

I wear bracelets,
To cover some of my marks.
But I don't have enough to cover,
The rest of my arm.

Why is it a crime,
To release some stress?
With it inside I couldn't concentrate!
It would just stick firmly to my head...

I get home,
Walk through the big, wooden door.
My mother says "hi" to me,
But she doesn't see,
I'm feeling raw!
She barely notices me,
At all.

If other people are afraid to look, thats their problem, you've had enough of your own.
I hope you don't do it again, you obviously need attention and lots of love. You can find lots of support here, everyone is friendly and willing to talk. You definately have a talent for writing, why not show us some more, start there and see what happens, just don't give up.

Oh yes she sees, but out of fear she holds back what she doesn't want to show...but yes she sees. I know because I've been there.

I go out on the streets now, and even my freinds turn aside, not out of fear, or because I'm so ugly....but out of not wanting to see whats becoming of me...a shell now am I of what I not long ago was...its not my choice, its just life you see.....Its my wintertime of seasons...and this I know...so I venture out not, not because I don't want to go...but I want them not to have to look you see...so hold your head high and set some goals....your in your Spring time and a long, long way to go.
