365 Days Poem Challenge Day 06

Are you blind?
Because you seem to miss
My crying, my calling our for help;
My fetal position, my scars that light my wrists;
My saggy eyes from sleepless nights;
My bones showing through because my starving myself.

What if you tried, just once,
To look at me.
To actually look, deep inside me,
To see what I SEE!
TO FEEL WHAT I FEEL!
WOULD YOU LAUGH THEN?!
WOULD YOU STILL TORMENT ME?!

No. No, you wouldn't.

  1. I've often wondered how differently people would act if they actually knew my thoughts and felt what my heart and soul feel.

    It's... it's one of those mind-boggling "what if's" that get me nowhere, but that I wish would get me somewhere.

    This is really sad and beautiful. I think that I sort of know how you feel.

    Thank you for sharing this.
