Shambhavi Shandilya Poet Free verse

A Scar On My Left Wrist

I wanna be able to show everyone the scar on my left wrist
Without being judged, or mocked or laughed upon

I wanna be able to tell the story behind the scar
To everyone who asks

I wanna be able to tell everyone that my life 
Isn’t perfect
That however much I may pretend
I too am broken

I don’t really care about the world
But I wanna be able to tell you
How I feel
Without fearing
That you too will leave

I don’t think I will be able to hide the scar anymore
For I no longer have any strength left

I just wanna be me
And sometimes I feel its too much to ask for

I wanna be able to tell you
How I cut my wrist
With no gist

Not using a blade
But a soft graze

And how much it hurt
After the blood spurt

I wanna tell you
How I feel when I lose control
And how much better you make me feel

 I just wanna be me
A girl with a scar on her left wrist..
