Her blood ran deep
So did her cuts.
She loved seeing the blood slowly seep from her wrists
and she covered them up
She broke glass and cut too deep
Her scars are what hold her past-
-Or what's left of it.
She never told anybody
She thought she deserved it.
Now, a year clean, her scars show her
fears
faults
memories
weaknesses.
But she's proud.

Hurt
is inevitable
But what hurts you
is all your choice.

So take these words to heart
I love you.
Put the blade down.
You're worth it.

Isa ka sa mga kilala
kong tao na
sobrang lalim

Mahilig kang magsulat
Ng mga nararamdaman mo
Ng mga istorya

May kung ano sa
mga salita mo
Hindi ako makahinga

Lalo na kapag
nilalabas mo na
kung ano ang nasa isip mo

Natatakot ako
para sa iyo
Nakakatakot
Hindi ko alam kung bakit
Masakit sa dibdib

Lahat tayo may pinagdadaanan
Pati ako meron niyan
Kapit ka pa

Kilala kita
pero hindi tunay na kilala
Nakikilala na kita
sa mga tulang ginawa mo

My wrists and thighs
Tattooed with white stripes

My mind consumed in darkness

My eyes clouded with nothingness..

My wrists and thighs stained red

My mind fading

My eyes rimmed with lack of sleep

Depression.

s.j.d
This was my first poem.  I hate to be mainstream with depression poems but this was the first one I had ever written.
They say our bodies
Are like canvases
Waiting for us to become artists
To portray our lives, for all to see.

The canvas that I own,
Is not any less beautiful than yours

I have marks from the world,
And hair dye running down my spine
Pink and purple lines trail down my thighs

Sighing deeply I stare in the mirror,
Is my canvas tainted?

More haunting
Than the marks
Left on a tortured body
Are the marks
A tortured body
Leaves itself

I see the pain in your face.....
But the tears are in my eyes.
I see the blade in your hands....
But the cuts are on my wrist.
I see all the pain in you.....
But feel it all in me.

People just don't understand that my scars are part of what make me who I am,
I may have created them out of foolishness,
but they were debated over agony in the purist.
You may look at me differently because of them,
and of course I understand that,
they are not what make me pretty, nor friendly.
But they remind me that I am not always correct about everything.
They remind me that pain is real.
That I can feel whatever I want to feel in this insane world,
and even though I did make them myself,
I can remember the pain that was felt that in fact inspired them.

and now late at night when the silence creeps in,
I cannot sleep because I remember back then.
and the pain that you dealt may have been done in secret,
but either way you knew that I would hear it, and I will not say a word of hate towards you,
because we were small people in the middle of the sea.
And when I look down I have a constant reminder of that,
but I am stonger now, because of all the tears you caused me to cry.
I will stand taller now, because of your cruelties towards me.
I'll know not to cry next time.
Because in that situation it made things worse.

would you care
if i died tonight

would you care
if i had permanent
tear tracks
down my face

would you care
if you found multiple
razors hidden in every
crook and corner of my space

would you care
if you saw swollen
red slashes
across my body

i would think not
because you caused them
and i hope you're proud
that today
your little sister
dragged a tool across
her skin
because of you.
i thought i was recovering hahaha apparently not

Every scar has a story to tell.
My story is nothing but a dream.
To be loved for me and not for someone else.
My scars show you that I am strong , felt so much.
My heart aces with pain and sorrow.
To let you in my life is scary thought , I been through so much. But hold me tight and keep safe.
My scars , my pain, my cuts and bruises tell all a story but the life I want is a dream that I soon hope to make a reality.
My tale my life
