Poem Title:
Poem
Painful memories I wish I could forget but I'm soldering through Scars still bleeding from traumatic experiences I had to go through Nightmares and flashbacks of things from my childhood I was exposed to This isn't a poem, this is a man talking about his mental health with the sobering truth My pain started from a very young age My cries for food and drink going unnoticed due to my parents drunk rage Taken into foster care because of my families unloving ways That may sound unfair, but I was a baby and too young to take care of myself during their drunken states When I was 10 I saw an older kid of 15 at school open his wrist with scissors Ice-cream and playing football after school couldn't erase the image of that picture Fast forward, it was four years later that I started self-harming just to cope with stress Long sleeves on hot summer days, I wouldn't expose my mess Hiding scars from the world that I gave to myself A few months later a teacher noticed and I felt like I was being judged without any lawyers Had to find a way to kill my suicidal thoughts and leave blood on my paranoia 8 years free from Self-harm now, but it wasn't easy to escape that hell 5 days before I turned 15 my sperm donor died People thought I was hiding emotions, but I was numb inside I felt a relief because now he had a genuine reason to not be around for me There's still some childhood experiences that my pen isn't ready to write I lost a lot of great girls due to the love I was unable to give My love and emotions were buried in the water underneath the bridge I always had more respect for those who didn't pretend and said they never cared to hear it I've always held more resentment for people who pretended to care just to share my secrets Painful memories I wish I could forget but I'm soldering through Scars still bleeding from traumatic experiences I had to go through Nightmares and flashbacks of things from my childhood I was exposed to This wasn't a poem, this was a man talking about his childhood pain with the sobering truth
