Alone Poem

I had a rough time growing up, at first with my family, then my friends, I was in my late teens when I was raped and I didn't know how to cope. I found cutting as a temporary relief. I have been cut free for about four months now.

I have been through some of the situations you have been through, so I know how you feel. I am sorry these things have happened to you. I will pray for the healing to begin as well as mine!...

I Can Feel

Published by Family Friend Poems July 2013 with permission of the Author.

I feel alone.

I am in a room full of people
and I feel as though I am by myself
I want to cry out to You
But I forget how I have felt

I want to express what in my heart
I want to tell you wants on my head
my emotions bottle up
and the ties that hold me together,
slowly become a mere thread

I wait until my actions can be hidden
I let my pain fade away
I keep the blades out of sight
nothing but healing wounds remain

how long can I fight

my blood remains unseen
the scratches begin to heal
the open cuts become scars
at least I know, I can feel.
