It's hard to look back on what I did in the past,
every little mistake I made comes back so fast.
Every one of my little cuts, bruises, and scrapes,
there is no way to stop no way that I can escape.
The fake smiles and the silent tears that fell so hard,
they stung my skin like sharp glass pieces of shards.
The thoughts of suicide the cuts that remind me of sin,
the fearsome scars that were burned into my skin.
And who could forget the long nights of restless sleep,
the scary nightmares took over my brain while I was asleep.
The thoughts and stares as I walked down the hall,
people waiting just for the moment I would fall.
A family who did not care and did not understand,
The lost thoughts of happiness that were banned.
How he took my life and shook it upside down,
and how it seemed so easy for me to just drown.
The way I had been living in this quiet dark,
as I waited for my soul to heal and embark.
As I stand in the mirror and look at my face today
I can see all the pain that I have to wash away.
It's time for me to find my peace of my mind,
and keep my feelings from staying confined..

Great stuff!!!
Always best to look behind before you can look forward, the trick is not to dwell there, lest you become a ghost of the memory, never being able to move beyond it...
All in all, a moving write that held me captive in its wake...
Keep up the good work...
Well done!!!

yeah this is a reminder to myself of where i've been. I have happier poems if thats what you are looking for. I dont really know. I do write more sadder poems then happy ones. I guess it's what i relate to the most.

YOu always tell me to not to write a dark poem and to think positive, but you have written one of the great dark poems, thats full of emotions..really great task done

a good piece, the past creates who we are in the present moments and helps us move into the future times, all the good times and the bad times swirl and become us.

Powerful, dark and brilliant. Wonderful deep writing here, could feel your emotion and passion within this very very deep piece indeed. You have done so well here, simply because it means something to you. Writing is at its most powerful then. Well done.
With
Dark
