A Girl's Blood-Stained Teddy Poem by Sophie Green

A Girl's Blood-Stained Teddy

Rating: 5.0


The teddy that hangs,
Beside her bed
The girl that once owned him,
Is now dead.

The girl was funny,
sweet and kind.
But because of the her scars,
She had to hide.

No-one knows her past is black,
And it follows like a snake.
But she kept everyone happy,
By throwing around smiles that were fake.

So that teddy hangs,
Beside her bed.
It's fur is matted.
And stained blood-red...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a poem about self harm. The girl in it has died and the teddy was her only friend.

I dedicate this to all self-harmers. I'm 12 and I self harm as well. I haven't got over it yet. I don't take my own advice...
