Self inflicted
Piercing eyes of judgment breaking through my skin,
The scars aren’t physical they can only be found within.
Growing up and realizing that my fears have been mis-directed.
It turns out all my scars have been self-inflicted.
As I stare at my reflection,
It’s as if my brain and heart have no connection.
I silently wonder why I keep doing this to myself.
Feeling worn down and torn up like an old book on a shelf.
The scars aren’t physical they can only be found within.
Growing up and realizing that my fears have been mis-directed.
It turns out all my scars have been self-inflicted.
As I stare at my reflection,
It’s as if my brain and heart have no connection.
I silently wonder why I keep doing this to myself.
Feeling worn down and torn up like an old book on a shelf.

Dear M,
What a major revelation “ Growing up and realizing that my fears have been mis-directed.
It turns out all my scars have been self-inflicted.” Self awareness is key in working things out, for me anyway. I sometimes don’t like what I find but at least I feel armed with the truth. I think your poem is evolved and raw a powerful. Well done. H🌷
