Poetry / Scars (Analysis)

The scars on my arm speak to me,
they ask why they were borne.
I hide my face from them,
to embarrassed to answer.
They twist and scream, demanding to be seen.
I close my eyes to escape, but I can still feel them growing inside.
The razor calls to me and I clinch it
in my palm.
A single crimson tear is released,
and the screaming stops.
I am released back to my sanity,
left with a new scar to answer to.

This is really sad. The cycle of self-destruction…

Experience always makes the best poems. Whether this relates to you? Or not, this piece is remarkably touching. A vision into a ‘reality’ where many minds dwell. I’m not much for grammer, but sentiment.

This was a pretty interesting poem.
Fourth line need to change to “too”.
I can see that this is about cutting.
A grim topic. It is clear to see the emotions boiling up and also it is clear the pleasure/ addiction aspect that comes from such an action.
Scars/ memories have an inherent tie to them.
I like the symbolic and metaphorical aspects of this poem, and as a poem it is solid.
Good job.

Great poem, why do people do this to them selfs?

I don’t know anyone personally who does this, but, read about on line many times.
