So many people view the world in two simple ways
Either black or white
They do not see the colours inbetween,
They do not see the blues, greens and reds
They forget about them all
They especially forget the reds
Red...the colour so expressive
The symbol of anger and lust
The symbol of blood
The symbol of the harm that has been done
The symbol of these cuts on my arms
The symbol of that hidden pain
Also the symbol of the anger that you have shown
When you first saw these scars
What was your reaction?
Crying, talking, a simple sigh?
NO!
The words that were yelled forth pierced right through me
And you wonder why these scars are here
No understanding you have shown
No compasion in those cold words that cut through me so easily
Words so cold they numb what just unfroze
Returing it to what it has been for so long
Returning me to hide behind this facade of happyness
Of content
Just anger in those words, words thrown at me
Without simple thought to what they do to me
And then you wonder why I say nothing
I say nothing, because I feel nothing about it, nothing about what you feel
So long I have been numb, real emotions escaping me
And now that I was recovering with the help of love
You come and numb me again, freezing the soul
This is who I am, who I have been,
This is who I will remain if I want
You just try and stop me

I have had too many arguments with people about the world being either black or white. Yes there are so many other colors. Red becoming one I don't like so much anymore, thankfully. But I have come to realize, you cannot say the world is just black or just white. But you can say that every person, and every little thing or situation has both black and white in them. Everything has a good and bad to it, but it is not one or the other. Your definition of red to me is a black, but there is white in there still because cutting is a battle you will overcome and will make you stronger when you have won it. I like your poem, very strong feelings and discriptive words that make me really feel it. Keep this up.
