My doctors asked if you don't write
Poems for them to be liked, and
Loved why do you do it?.
I write because it is better than popping pills, that will become invisible handcuff.
I can write the pain away and bury
Feelings in lines of poems.
Not everything i write is good maybe its stuff no one wants to read.
But if one person sees my poems and believe, theres a better tomorrow then
I helped someone.
A pen paper and words can heal more
Than what pills can heal.
This poem came from a conversation i had with my therapist, and talked about the
Power of writing ans poetry.
My scars are a scrapbook
which tell many stories.
Some scream great times
while some whisper loneliness
some just are there, there in calm silence.
These scars are my friends,
unlike most people in my life.
They will always be with me,
they will never leave.
These scars are my secrets,
hidden and quiet.
Disguised and so sacred,
I will never tell a soul.
These scars are my scrapbook.
These scars are my friends.  
These scars are my secrets.
These scars.....
These scars are who I am.

Well most days I'm fine
But today I'm not
Mind is trapped inside
Feelings sliced paper thin
Just to fit in
All the cardboard boxes
Neatly labeled but all blank
Words are meaningless
Words have no reason to hide
So I hide
I write it all out
Cuz I won't go outside
The darkness doesn't like the light
And today I feel dark
Haunted
Most days I'm fine
But today I'm not
//On anxiety, depression//

I'm scared of the real me,
But you're not .
The real me is scarred .
But you think I'm sacred.
You call me beautiful,
You call me perfect,
You call me sunshine,
You call me golden raindrops
You call me every thing I'm not.

  Or am i?
Imagine golden raindrops

You put colors to my life
never realized that
putting all the colors together
will make my world dark.
