scars

The stupidest thing I ever done in my life

I regret it,
at first I
thought
it felt good,
it took away
the pain
inside me,
but now
there
are
scars
that
remind
me of it all,
they will
never go away.
Why,
why was I so
stupid, now
all I see
are those
scars
forever
there.

A rather hard poem to read, in the sense of the topic. Not only do you manage to explain why people hurt themselves to begin with, but also point out the lasting scars which become reminders of a past no doubt it would be nicer to forget. A very good poem, actually, so few words, and the layout conveys something I couldn't explain but adds intensity and feeling so much to your piece.

The pleasures all mine, a great read - you have achieved what you were going for very well with an excellent, in many aspects, poem.

Life has so many obstacles, trials and tribulations, but I have found
with God in my life they come and go much easier! There's an old saying I
hang on , what God brings you to, he will bring you through!
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

I have a poem I would like for you to read titled Suicide, (I will post it once I finish here) depressing thoughts can get the best of anyone if they let them. I like your poem for its perception of one of life's darker possibilities.

I understand every word, and the meaning behind it.

I know what it's like to be in a situation like this, and your brave enough to share an emotion so powerful.

First I want to say I love the quote you chose for your profile. One hug can mean so much. With that said, your poetry is powerful and filled with emotion. You have expressed so much pain in so few words and that isn't easy to do. You are very talented.

A difficult subject to write to full emotion ,but you did . cutting helps for a few seconds then you get back to reality an realise that those scares will haunt you. wonderfully write can really relate, hope ll goes well.

Great formatting, and good message. Remember the mistakes of the past can help solve the problems of the future. We all carry scars from our mistakes. But as you have proven it is the lesson you have learned that give those scars value.

I like the way this poem is structured. Also, I can relate to this piece, self-harm is a terrible but it's even worse when you're trying to recover yet you can see your scars whenever you look at your body. A very emotional and stripped piece of work, well done.
