I see the scars on my arm and wrists,
Mere constant reminders of who I was and still am
A lonely person, no where to turn
All alone, her soul left to burn
Crying inside, Those silent tears, The ones she
herself refuses to hear
Everyone is deaf to her cries,
She is numb to the pain
Consumed by the maddness,
The maddness she tries desperately to hide
All alone, with no one to confide
"It isn't fair," she screams, realizing she is
one of few chosen to feel pain
with such depth She's sinking in the fear, she's
drowning in the pain, maybe someone will save her
once again But maybe not, maybe this is it, maybe this time
is the end.  She gets down on her knees and prays to God for
the strength and the will to
go on  With every passing day she hopes her
prayers are answered
For she fears what will be if they are ignored
I look at the scars and cry, for they are me with
the strength not to hide

This is so very sad and well written. You seem to have a great talent for writing. Sometimes writing is the best therepy for  the pain that we feel. You have expressed yourself very well in this. Does the title mean that you won't be posting here anymore? I hope it doesn't mean that. I think if you stick around here you will be very glad that you did!

Why is it the last one?...A bit worrying with the content, hope you're ok, are you?

HUGS

 Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn.

You are not alone here at Passions. I hope to see some more of your writing, for you are certainly talented. I wouldn't look to hard at the scars. There are so many other things to see. Raise your head once in a while to look at the stars, you will be amazed at the tranquility such a sight can bring to the spirit. Keep writing, Cokey
A big Hug,
Liz
