I'm trapped.
I can't escape.
It's getting hard to breathe.

Darkness is overcoming me.
I can't speak.
When I try nothing comes out.

She holds me down.
She keeps me here.
Her lies empower me.

I am broken.
I am trapped.
There's no one to hear me cry.

Dear you,

Please don't forget about me.
Even if you find someone better.
I just want you to know no girl will ever love you like I still do.
Promise me that you'll not forget me.
I know you broke some of our other promises.
But please keep this one.
Promise me you won't forget about me.
Because I can't even fathom forgetting you, my love.

Sincerely,
____

Worthl­ess.
Weak.
Sadness.

Many people say never judge a book by it's cover, but they are the ones that judge the most.
I don't think I'm a good poet.

Can you see them?

They aren't always on the wrists
They aren't easy to find
Some are covered with socks
Some concealed beneath pants

Out of your line of sight
The scariest ones
You can't see them
They hide from your eyes

Hidden lines
Concealed beneath clothing
playing peek-a-boo through the lies
Marks upon smooth skin

She's clever, you see?
Hides them under cloth and fabric
Can you see them?
They make her weak.

Hidden scars
The scars that hurt the worst
Tear apart happiness
Her hidden secrets
First poem on here. I know it *****.

Day 1
No more cuts.
Only scars.
I won't go back to yesterday.
I promise.

Day 10
No more cuts.
Only scars and thoughts.
I refuse to look back though.
I swear.

Day 50
No cuts, more thoughts.
These scars aren't just physical.
I don't want to look back.
I'm trying not to.

Day 70
These thoughts...
they hurt more and more.
I don't know how much I can take.
I want to.

Day 1
I really tried...
My story right now....
