Short poetry dump!! (TW: self deprecation)

Scars


A mark has been left on me

Telling a story to all those who see

But mine isn’t of a noble deed or triumphant tale

And yet there it remains, still


I look down upon it with shame

Missing the days I wasn’t in such pain

Out of sight out of mind,

So forever it shall hide



Eat me


My eyes chewy like taffy

My bones crunch like chips

My blood sweet like soda

And my flesh the texture of bubblegum


Chew me up and spit me out

For I never wish to eat again

I'll starve, I'll bleed,

I'll forget how to breathe


It all looks wrong and I wish I didn't exist

So tear me apart until there's nothing left



Diseased


My skin is covered in bumps and lumps

It gives me an urge to cover it all up

So that all their prying eyes may not see

The most hideous part of my body


"Is it contagious?"

No, but I wish it was

Then I could hide my skin from everyone

You'll all stand so far away

I'll finally look normal, even just for one day


If only I could be like the girls on tv

Then you'd be able to see right through me

I'd blend in perfectly with the crowd

My beautiful skin all around


My skin is swollen, red and bruised

I wish I could say this was all a ruse

I've made a mistake, now my skin is all ruined

I'm so sorry, I should have listened
