You Changed Me

Consuming pain, dripping from my blood
watch me slice the skin
with the blade that's provoked by you
it wasn't my fault, it slipped, i promise

See the stains on the carpet
its from the nights you made me cry
see the pill bottles all over my room
its from the nights i wanted to die

I'm watching me now
replaying the discomfort
seeing how I changed
how you mutilated me

You changed me
not just my personality
but my confidence, my attitude
my skin, my blood

    The great thing about this poem is that it is concrete. I am in a creatice writing class and our teacher warned us that as teenagers we use abstract words like "love, hate, apathy, soul, fate..." way to much, and they arent nouns we can see. The great thing with this poem is with the concrete nouns you used, it describes a feeling of Discomfort, Depression, Devalue, etc. Without learning that I wouldnt have appreciated this poem as much! Very mature!
