Heroes

- You can't see the scars;
Covered up by sleeves of guilt;
And nobody can imagine the hurt;
That's behind the wall she's built.

- You can't see the bruising;
Hidden under layers of shame;
And you can't feel the fists;
That cause her daily pain.

- You can't see her crying;
Those lonely crimson tears;
And you haven't seen her suffering;
Through the past nineteen years.

- You don't see her shivering;
Under the blankets, laced with lies;
And you can't feel the stinging;
That pulses deep beyond her eyes.

- You can't see the colors;
That are spread across her face;
And you can't stop her fighting;
To get out of this horrid place.

- You can only offer her;
What you think she needs;
"I am fine, every things okay"
But inside - look - she bleeds.


[You all think you're heroes]
[But you just make it worse]

Author notes

This is so pathetic. I just wanted to carry on my trend of stupid, moronic, 12 year old emo poetry.

Though the last two lines in "[ ]" I actually mean.

    This was really freakin' good!!!!!! I like how you transformed the heroes into really the one that is hurting her, know what i mean, or does that not make sense? LOL! i have a tendency to do that. I like how you had like sleves, and blankets to me they seemed like a symbol then you weaved in sham and guilt. i thought that, that was ver clever and unique. The last two lines gave me chills, i loved this poem so much high fiver fo' shizzle LOL
