Scars

Scars

A Poem by Ruben Rodriguez

The cuts and scars on these wrists
Stare back from beneath clenched fists

Beauty and symmetry of red stripes
Destroyed by stitches of different types

A constant reminder... of emotional chains
A constant reminder... to cut open my veins

A constant reminder... of my pain
A constant reminder... I'm insane

BEAUTIFUL! The intricacy of the thoughts that this poem is trying to convey is so beautifully knitted that I am struck. Loved it!
