She sat huddled up in the dark

Tears flowing freely across her face

The black engulfed the angry spark

Which the glistening tears seemed to trace

Angry, pained and conflicted

She felt herself battering against the tide

Every wound which the turmoils afflicted

Broke her a little more deep inside.

She gripped it hard; her only drug

The gleaming, lustrous, metal blade

She regarded her arm with a careless shrug

For her, it was just another scar that won't fade.

To counter the infinite inner pain,

The hurting memories and feelings they brew

The murmers behind her back; those looks of disdain,

Physical pain was the only escape she knew

There she was all tired and drained,

As she shut herself in her world,

Of muffled screams and clothes blood stained,

Where multiple emotions together unfurled.

Pulled back from her painfull reverie

Pushing away the thoughts so vile

She scrubbed her face smudge free

And forced on a sparkling smile

So that the rest of the world wouldn't know,

About her thoughts so vile

The gleaming, lustrous, metal blade

And behind that sparkling smile

Were scars that won't fade!!
