Self-harm poems

So I've all got these scars

Which living with can be quite hard

Something I struggle with almost everyday

As I try to keep the painful memories away

No matter how hard I try

To cover up the past with a lie

A part of me inside dies

'Cause I know this is something I can't always deny

Not when so many others share these scars

I know I can't live my life like this

So I'm gonna have to take a risk

And I'll risk all my pain

For the courage and honesty I'll gain

People may ask, and I'll ask them to listen

Some may not understand, but I'll be the one to listen to them

I'll love all people and life to the fullest

Instead of using the b*** to cope

I'll get high on hope

So I'll take this pen and I'll write it down

Hopefully with a message to turn lives around

Not for fame, fortune, or glory

But just to share my story

And when I do this, it will be a new day for me

The day when I can be the person I want to be

'Cause I'd rather be who I am with these scars

Than be who I'm not without them
