The Scar That Never Fades

Between the thin, fragile lines of faith and hope lies the vein of ugly truth

Feeling as though you've been betrayed your entire life because you can't find yourself

You hold the Blade of Deception just a little closer to the heart you once had

They told you it was so easy, and there isn't worry on The Other Side for you to feel

And now you sit here with black tears down your face, wondering Should I?

Believing there is a sanctuary for you after the vain crime you're about to commit

You slide the blade across your wrist, ripping your sanity into a million pieces

And as the blank numbness swallows you, you try your best to cut the other one

Slowly you feel yourself draining of all you used to be, memories that were begin to fade

You close your eyes, and welcome the darkness as it engulfs you whole

Suddenly, a light surrounds you, and a Voice more magnificent than any other sounds

"You are not welcome in My Kingdom for the curse you have brought yourself"

Then, as the light slowly drifts away from you, you felt yourself breathe another breath

Now hating yourself for what you've done, and what brought you so low as to do it

You see the scars on your wrists where you foolishly cut yourself to end your life

Magnificently healed... these are the scars that never fade.

Author's Note

This was an... I don't know poem, lol. It does speak a lot, but it's not one of my usuals. I wrote this to release a jumble of emotions. It's really a story behind a story. I know it lacks my descriptive strength that I give it, but the message is still strong. Hopefully, it contains the certain "wholeness" that makes writing what it is. It is dark, but if you've read my writing you would know it's very rather dark. Who knows... maybe it's not the writing... maybe it's me. Maybe I've changed. :)

It's a beautiful poem, dark though it is. I love it.

I have felt this - you expressed it eloquently and profoundly from the core. The more we know about our surrounding history; it is easier to believe we didn't belong; weren't welcomed, expected or lied to. I just saw your age; and that was about the time I started seeing the people around me as liars. But now that I'm double your age; I realize why they lied. To protect my innocence. To not involve me in something they had no control over. Yes, perhaps I was a surprise. Perhaps my mom's life would have been easier without me but the love we share is something we can never imagine. All things look different from distance and perspective. This is a great write to hold for yourself as you continue to evolve.

this is really deep and powerful. Sad and dark, but i think everyone feels that way at one point or another. Its good to write out your emotions every once and a while. This is a strong write, thank you for sharing! :P

What is the flurry of words to paper but an outlet for the feelings we are too scared to admit to ourselves. Acceptance drenches the lines of your sorrow with beauty and your honesty is one many would envy, there is something calming about being able to let anger seep from the pores of a scarred being by writing, it focuses the mind on something other than what lurks beyond our vision. Carry on writing, it will keep you afloat let yourself be proud of what you have accomplished for it is beautiful, you are humbling, there is a light to your darkness which causes a contrast of amazing proportions. It is only once we have seen the darkness we can learn to truly appreciate the light.

indeed it has a strong message - I think the descriptives are good too - the poem is powerful - the messages are strong - a sad and personal write - the scars that never fade indeed - nice!
