carly harris Poems

I tried not to cut
But just my luck
I saw a blade
Guess what I made
...

How do I just pause?
Quit for my one cause?
The knife I hold so deep,
Through torn skin the blood will seep.
...

'What is emo? ' Everyone asks.
'A religion or just a mask?
Is it attention that they seek?
So they cut open skin so deep.
...

I hate this place I call my home,
This place I also hat to roam.
More like a prison it is to me,
Something others don't wanna see.
...

I look back on my past
And wonder 'How did I last? '
Through all the abuse taking place
Knowing I would never be safe.
