If They Had Only Cared
Copyright, Erin
I would like to share a poem with you. I would like to see what you think about it. I would like to see it on your site but that is for you to decide. After reading some of the others it inspired me today to write my own and send it in.
Thank you, Erin
It's surprising to see
How many people don't care
They might see the scars
But pretend they're not there
Maybe they will finally see
That something is wrong with me
When I'm dead
Lying in my blood soaked bed
Or when they pick me up
And feel that the life is gone
They'll try to bring me back
But it's already been too long
Wrapping me in the blood soaked sheets
Wondering why I did what i did
They thought i was alright
But were told differently by the slits on my wrists
Seeing for the first time
What they had kept hidden
All the scars were there for a reason
To tell the story of my pain
They had finally noticed them
But it's too late now
I'm gone from this life that i hate
If they had only cared...
