Emo Poetry

Please Stop

Little voices in my head

asking for a simple phrase

"please stop."

the big voices outside scream and shout

"emo freak!"

the people around don't see past my façade

of laughter and smiles

inside it's all tears

inside it's depression

inside the little voices say

"please stop."

No razor blades

I must make due

with sewing needles instead

drag it across

only a centimeter

but many times

small drops of crimson

dot the surface

I grab some band aids

I cover my wounds

I cover my pain

each day is like a battlefield

of lies and deceit

my glossy wet eyes

tell novels

my small scarred arms

show miles

they dont know

the pain that I deal with

empty and hollow

is how I feel inside

I used to be full

of excitement and laughter

I'm staring at my reflection

I'm not who I want to be

can someone please help me?

dont tell me

"get over it"

might as well

tell the disabled

"go run a marathon"

or "the wheel chair is not part

of your life"

for are we not all disabled?

in our own special way.

please stop.

stop the pain

crying and tears

stop the hurt

my depression and fears

please, make it stop.
