Depressing Poems and Quotes

An Original Poem

I have an addiction
One that no one would ever understand
Where the thoughts in my mind
Go straight to the knife in my hand

I have many scars
That no one will ever see
Because they're hidden
on my thighs, hips, and ribs

People may make jokes
But they don't understand
How much it hurts
But I still fake a laugh

"Boys will be boys" they say
"Girls are all drama, rumors, and gossip"
But what if it's not true
We're all just hiding behind a shell

A wall we've created
That no one could pass
Because we've been hurt before
And don't want to risk it happening again

I have a strange addiction
Maybe I'll go on the show
I have many scars
And no one truly understands

That may be an overused line
But it's true
How do I know you ask
Because not even I know

I'm in pain
No one can see
I have a smile on my face
But hundreds of scars under my clothes

The bigger my smile
The more I'm hurting
The smaller my smile
The more I've given up on trying

Think before you speak
Because you never know
The person you're talking to or about
It might become really personal

Don't judge by the cover
Or a person by their wrists
Just because the scars have healed
Doesn't mean their hearts have

I have an addiction
That no one will ever understand
Not even myself
And I'm so numb that it doesn't hurt anymore
