Secret shame


A Poem

© content

last year,
    same as always...
always been a good girl
    but i once ran in the hallways.
how was i to know that
    nothing coulda stopped it
now i gotta scar there
    clear, white, scaly sh!t.
no one ever told me
    abuse is bad but not me.
i always thought i could change
    i tried but never got free.
now i sit alone, love.
    my arm is bleeding on the floor.
why didnt they tell me?
    what were they waiting for?
i close my eyes and sleep now,
    knowing that the bleeding's done.
the anger has been rid of.
    and now i am the only one.
the drugs are not inside me
    they are out on my satin sheets.
i knew that i would never win.
    self abuse has got me beat.
