SCARS

She used to get bullied,
She used to cry a lot.
Her parents said that she was pretty,
But she thought she was not.
She wished to have some admirers,
She wished to make some friends.
She wished a lot more things,
A list that simply never ends.
Her face was full of scars,
Her heart was full of cries.
She wished to live no more,
Everyday deep inside she died.
People said she was ugly,
People said she was fat.
Maybe after hearing all these things,
She lost her appetite.
She started starving herself,
In the hope that she will be beautiful.
She thought that having a perfect body,
Will make her life joyful.
She thought of hiding her scars,
She started running for make up.
But still she was unsuccessful,
Every night she used to cry and wake up.
It was 21st March 2010,
She still remembers the date.
Her mind was full of ugly thoughts,
She had lost all her faith.
Suddenly she looked in the mirror,
And for the first time she found herself.
She asked the reflection "What's wrong ??"
The reflection replied, "Nothing, everything is well?"
There was a moment silence,
Then the reflection said again.
"You don't need to hide your scars,
You look beautiful with them."
She was taken aback by that thought,
She started feeling good.
She ran down to the dinning hall,
Where her mom cooked her favourite food.
She ate with all her might,
She didn't care of being fat.
That night she had beautiful dreams,
She had never slept like that.
Her life was completely changed,
Not because of make up or other stuffs.
It was because she trusted herself now,
And to fight others she had got the guts.
So all those girls who think they are ugly,
You are actually not.
You are beautiful as anyone else could be,
No one's got the beauty that you've got.
You don't need to hide your scars,
You don't need to fight with yourself.
All you need to do is trust your heart,
And know that your scars are beautiful as well.

- It doesn't matter what people think about you, what matters is what you think of yourself...........

Phewwww! Finally I did this. I have been thinking of doing this for a long time but was little nervous bout how people will react. He he.
So this poem is about my sister when she was around 15 or 16.
I still remember how she used to feed me all her lunch and asked me never to tell my parents about this. At that time she had no one with whom she could share her misery, because I was too small to understand and our parents were too big to care and she had no friends. Now when I think about it I feel that she deserves a better sister because I couldn't be with her when she needed me the most.
Anyways I also would recommend you guys to listen to ' Scars to your beautiful ' by Alissea Cara. The idea for this poem came from that song.

Thank you!
And do tell me that you like it or not.
If I get positive reactions then I'll be uploading some more of my poems.
