This is
My once upon a time
When the suffering commenced
And I began to rhyme
Family problems
With mum and dad
They were separated
I never liked that
As I was scared
Scarred in my heart
As a lost soul
Where to start?
Easy to cry
Never understood
Impossible to help
As if you could?
My shell protecting
From the outside
Impossible to open
This was my life
I would curl in a ball
To be alone
I hated myself
This was my home
Quiet at school
Colorblind too
Difficult to make friends
Oh so true
I would hurt myself
To inflict pain
Scratching my arms
What did it gain?
Burning myself
To suffer some more
Days dragged by
Like a chore
I wished to punish
To harm myself
Through all the torment
The mental health
Anger so dark
Eating away
Hard to push out
To keep at bay
Although crying out
Silently so
I needed help
For it to go
If someone was there
To listen, just that
It would of helped
A selfless act
