Scarred

Under fabric

Hiding from the world

Lies my secret

I do not ever

Let people see

For what will they think

I will be labeled a loser

A loner

A freak

Who all would leave me

Friends

Family

Everyone I care about

Would they leave if they knew

I cannot ever let

Anyone see

These scars

That I keep hidden

I am scarred

Inside

And out

The inside

From every time

Someone has made a hurtful comment

Laughed behind my back

Ignored me

Because I was not wanted

The outside

From every time

I was scarred

On the inside

I cannot handle

The pain inside

I take it away

By focusing on physical pain

Forget being emotional

I gaze at the line

Forming across my skin

Red

Against my pale tone

I wish

I did not care

What people think of me

I wish

I could find a way

To deal with this pain

Then

I would not have to worry

About these little scars

All over my skin

No one realizes though

That I have this secret

I keep the scars hidden

Away from the world

I have it under control

I do not need help

I can stop whenever I wish

I can handle this

Maybe if I told

People would help

Maybe they would not care

They would still love me

For me

I am too afraid

To let someone in

Let them see

For now

I will just have to hang on

And remain

Scarred
