My scars hidden deep within

If you look at me closely
you won't see my scars
for they lie deep within me
hidden from sight
scarring my soul

my scars are my broken heart
that will never be the same again
i tried to patch it up, i did
but some pieces are lost forever
and I'm left with a big gaping hole

That's all that's left
caused by the devastation
of never being able to have children
I had a hysterectomy last year
after which i lost all hope

My scars are etched on my broken mind
as a young child, beaten and bound
living in fear on a daily basis
as emotional and physical abuse took it's toll

Depression is what i have to live with now
while suicidal thoughts run through my head
telling me I've to succumb to the darkness

I'm on a downwards slope it seems


My scars don't ever heal
they lay open and bleeding

painful and true

 

So just remember this...

just because some peoples scars arn't visable

for the eye to see

doesn't mean they are any less hurting

 

We still need understanding

compassion when we are in pain

encouragement when our scars are weeping

and support to see us through

    I can't imagine not being able to have children, that itself would scar me permanently. Though I wanted more children, I had my tubes tied not long ago because my life depended on it. I hope that you find enough strength to make it through and maybe give yourself that gift by adopting. Being beaten is a terrible thing to deal with as well, I hope that whoever beat you paid for what they did because you deserved so much better. I wish you only the best in this life. Thank you so much for being courageous enough to share your scars with me and for giving me such a heartfelt piece.

    Very beautiful, the emotion in this poem is so raw. It's hard to share your scars with others and put it out there like you did in this piece. One of my favorite quote is about the scars we acquire in life.
    "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
    Thanks for sharing

    Wow that is amazingly true!!!!! I am sorry you had to go through that. I watched my aunt go through the same thing and it broke my heart so much and I know she still wishes to have a kid. My youth group helps ease her pain cause we are all her kids.

    Very true not all scars are physical.
    I hope time love hope and compassion will heal or at least ease the pain you have inside for many years.
