Scar's

I break a razor I grab the blade I run it through my skin Careful not to get too close To my veins I am not trying to kill myself I don't do this for attention I do it to ease my pain The blood flows as I watch Sometimes swirling it around I am euphoric now I am in a better place I am obsolete I have wondered away from The pain I couldn't take This freedom only cost me a Few superficial scar's Scars don't bother me I am no beauty queen I have issues that go way beyond these scar's When I became a teenager men Started to notice me and pay attention At first they said things and then came the touching They became very aggressive They saw me through their eyes They wanted me for reasons unknown even to them They became predators and I became prey They watched and waited patiently Until they found the chance to rape me, so young and full of life They took my innocence away so I sit in a bathroom floor covered in blood They left scar's, so I cut to take the pain away Self inflicted scar's ease my pain I don't hide the scar's because the rapist is the one who should feel all the shame

Thanks for everyone's comments, they are all positive, it's healing to put this out there for the women that stay silent, I lived rape and molestation and I have always been public and honest because I did nothing wrong and I forgave these weak men so I have nothing to answer to God on this subject. I was able to outgrow doing the cutting because I refuse to let these cowards steal anything else from me!

All the emotion of the human heart is expressed in this extraordinary poem Misti, it is part of the healing process to put pen to paper and share your feelings, because there are people who care and will keep you in their prayers. I would refer you to my poem 'A Silent Cry'
