Scars

I feel them all around,
There’s more than I can count.
They burn and tease,
I swear I hear them laughing at me.
I try to hide them, so people won’t know,
But they taunt me, they put on a show.
When people see, they laugh and yell,
They make it a living hell.
They say it’s wrong,
They don’t understand I’m so far gone.
“For attention!” They say.
“You‘re just in the way!”
I blink away tears and pretend it’s just a dream.
I stay silent, but really I want to scream!
Open your eyes and see!
I just want someone to help me,
You’re the reason for these scars you see.
I want someone to understand,
Someone to see who I truly am.
Someone who won’t judge how I feel,
Someone who will understand they make me feel real.
I scream for help, but no one hears,
It’s like my cries don’t reach their ears.
