Scars Poems
Silently I cry for you..
by Raina Hutchins
I wander through this land
Of broken promises and dreams
Clouded by the death of you
Wondering what life means
My colourless existence
In a world of black and grey
Reflects the person I’ve become
And who I am today

A Scar and A Star
by Spark Carter-Ray
In the quiet of dusk,
where shadows stretch like weary fingers,
scars whisper their secrets,
etched on skin like old stories,
maps of time and heartache.
Ghosts wander through the corridors of memory,
flickering just out of sight,
their breath a chill that dances on exposed veins,
reminders that we are never truly alone in our darkness.

hidden scars
by Misti Howell
it hit my skin, it felt good
I was high and drunk on the feeling
the feeling of blood rushing out
I know what I'm doing to myself
yet I cut
one,
two,
three,

Let Us
by Anisha Nyambe
Let us use straw to make gold
and stone to carve diamond rings
Your tears to form crystals
and our misery to brew priceless wine.
Let us make ink from our mistakes
and a pencil from our missed opportunities.
Let us use silence to make noise
and noise to use our violent voices.

If Only You Were Here... (Keep The Thought)
by Anisha Nyambe
If only you were here…
hold onto that thought and say
"I am here, " while your head is still in the clouds.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
while all the stars surround you and conceal your scars.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
while wanting is enough for me to live on.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
while you're dancing in pointed shoes away from your world and mine.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
