underneith all the makeup
and all the strange clothes
is a little girl that nobody knows
a little girl with pains and aches
a young woman whos heart breaks and breaks
she hides behind anything she can
and pretends to be fine
but deep down shesn crying for help inside
people say shes weird
and some even call her a freak
but if they only knew what its like
how it feels to not have a perfect life
only knew what she goes through
everyday and night
she wears dark clothes because thats how she feels
she wears long sweatshirts and long sleeves all the time
but sometimes someone will see her arm
and the little red lines
not really a line
more like a slice
the kind of slice that comes froma kinfe
or a razor blade
she'll use anything sharp
thats how she deals with the pain in her heart
but maybe some day she'll get help
maybe some day she will talk
maybe some day she'll be accepted
maybe some day she will be loved

whoa, i'm awed! i do this every single day. i wear dark, huge clothes because i feel insecure, i wear long sleves because of my cutting, i hide behind anything, and i act like i'm okay so i know exactly what you're going through. tho i don't cut on my arm anymore because that's too risky. anyway if you wanna talk, i'm here. awesome poem! later,
