She's made of diamonds but breaks like paper All because it seems like everyone hates her She picks up the pen and she writes on her skin A language that she'll have to hide again Nobody knows it and it doesn't show Her teachers and family wonder, though A girl so pretty with eyes so wide Still feels so much pain inside She dresses up those pearly white teeth While nobody sees the pain underneath Lost in the sounds of falling apart Silently dying from a broken heart Her long sleeves cover that scarred up page No one should feel that at such a young age She takes a deep breath and rolls up her sleeve She bares her heart on the paper aggrieve
This poem is to promote awareness for self-harm. Please, if you or anyone you know is struggling, fight it. Find a way to get help. There is help out there, and they won't judge you; they won't treat you different. You have to stop sometime. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Life is a song - don't walk away in the middle of it.
