Scars
They each have a story
SAD RAGE TRUTH
If you saw my stories,
Would you run the other way
If you knew my secrets
My past and bad people
Would you turn the other cheek
Scared to tell you
Afraid for you to know
Losing what I never had
Running from what was never bad
Paper doll, me
Please pray for me
No more paper torn away from me
Protection is the key to a mother's love
Guidance is the key to a father's
Where does that leave me
Here
Scared to tell you
Afraid for you to know
Losing what I never had
Running from what was never bad
RUNNING
Peek through the sheets
I see them as red, so weak
Look through my attic
I see it as dark, so comforting
Know my secrets and please don't hide
Know my story and please don't cry
Scars, filled with stories
They all point to the
TRUTH
Of
this
world
just
give
me
love
RUSSIAN ROULETTE
Author notes
Well, this one just appeared out of nowhere. I've been having a pretty bad day and I look at all the houses on this block and wonder what they're story is. If you told someone whom you began to care about, would they simply run away? That is the question my folks.

Good write. No two stories are the same as you well know. Happy trails

Nicely done...we all have our stories and our scars...but thats what life is...and then we die.

Paper Doll, me.
that line is the shining star of this poem. You wrote from a pure place, that's evident. As you (we) grow as writers, our flexibility increases, vocab increases, and overall depth increases. thats all this is missing, depth, specifics, language. the more you incorporate those things into your existing style, you'll be unstopable.
