My Brand New Scar from my father
written by suicide_penguin06:45 PM 2/5/05*my father and i dont really get along, i wrote this poem after a fight we had in which he hit me*
I got a brand new cut today
Slashed right across my face
Because he doesn't get things his way
He says I’m a disgrace
And I ran into the bathroom
As my blood dripped to the floor
My father came right after me
And he banged right on my door
But of course I did not open it
I had better things to do
Like crying on the bathroom floor
Wishing this wasnt true
Then I looked into the mirror
And I stared at a cut face
And I wondered who that girl was
And when did she take my place
A mistake was what I was
Just like my father had said
But I know thats not what he really meant
In other words he wants me dead
But is this really true
Am I really a mistake?
Am I such a hopeless girl?
Or is my reflection just a fake
Fresh tears dripped down my cheeks
Just when I thought I had no more
I just wish my life would be back to normal
Like the way it was before
The blood just wasn’t stopping
As I pressed a towel to my skin
I guess it was a sign to show me
That my father will always win
But I couldn’t cry over it all night
Still I had to stay strong
I had to try to understand his ways
Even though I may be wrong
And finally I got over it
And I crept in my room to write
What happened my entire day
And why I was in such fright:
My scars posses a beauty
That you could never know
because they all represent the truth
That lies deep down below
These scars are for a broken family
a time of unforgettable tears
crimson trails that I have followed
each representing my deepest fears
With each passing moment
I believe he will continue to scar
And the only role that I play in it
Is to hope he don’t get too far |
