Oh Mother

How your perfect child,

Once perfect to you,

Could have made these marks

In her arms, while you never knew



And yet something told you

That all was not right,

Don't aknowledge it mother

Out of mind, out of sight,



Until today, you'd sugar

Coated all the bad

Perfect family, perfect house

Always happy, never sad



And then I shattered your world

With something strange and new

A razor blade went through my arm

A cut for me, a cut for you



Two white scars are all that remain

Of that fateful day

I never want to see the pain

I caused you as I lay



Your face was white

Your tears glistened and,

Your eyes grew redder

As you listened



To my troubles, long

In wait, and watched cry

And whisper sweet

And sorrowful goodbye

I just randomly stumbled across this and I like this one a lot, in a poetic kind of way (not because of what it is talking about), I liked how it just flowed so easily and was so deep and emotional, glad writing can help ya feel a lil better (like it does me), I jsut hope next time if there is a next time- before you cut, write first...might help ya not do it in the first place. In either case, you are a very good writer and i really like your stuff, i invite you to check out some of my stuff sometime if you wish, take care and peace- keep writtin!
