Survivor Poems - Poems about Survivor

Each scar has a name, etched into my skin— White lines barely visible on my pale arms. There’s one for every heartbreak I ever got, One for each battle I silently fought, One for all the wrongdoings I had, For every time my thoughts turned bad. Each scar holds a memory, a ghost from the past, Every cut done silently, hidden away...

Who is that woman in the mirror? The big blank eyes. The mouth that never smiles. The hands, always shaking. I don't know her. What can I do? I am afraid of everything and everybody. I only want to be home. But I don't want to be alone. I don't feel safe. Why am I always crying? Anxiety attacks that take my breath away. Flashbacks of violence,...

"I’m Still Here, And I Will Shake You" I’ve walked roads you wouldn’t whisper about. Where shadows don’t follow, they lead. Where the air tastes like sorrow and the silence presses like a loaded gun against your temple at 3 a.m. The dirt remembers me. It groans where I nearly gave up, where the weight of my own breath felt like betrayal. You want real? Not...

Sleepless nights keep piling up. Always in a foul mood, I poison myself with nicotine, caffeine, ethanol, and cannabinoids. I live like a hedonist with suicidal urges. I won’t bequeath my body to science. The wreck will be too battered by my twilight. One life, one ride—no concessions, no compromise. I'm on alert, constantly in crisis mode. I sleep with the windows open,...

The Mask You hooked me with your charming ways And I fell hard and fast. I couldn’t have believed you If you said it wouldn’t last. I didn’t know what hit me when you started with your scorn. What should have been my harbor, quickly became my storm. I tried and tried to please...

The sheer curtains dance Casting shadows on the wall From the open window A gentle breeze whispers its call. The hum of a fan Sings a soulful song Breaking the silence That trapped me so long. Minutes turn to hours Hours turn to days The healing is lost In a foggy haze. I hide in the dark Afraid to live Succumbing to the anger The...

Thirty years ago, my life fell apart/ I became fallen and forgotten/ All my friends abandoned me/ For years, those tears poured/ All those tears formed an ocean/ For a crime I never committed/ For all I lost in life/ My religion is different/ I face religious hatred for years/ My faith is unwavering/ My heart is unwavering/ I face so much hate in my life/ I...

In a faraway place sits an old man living in an old old block of flats. A group of tabby cats gather outside, basking lazily in the warm sunshine. He watches peacefully as people walk past; Quarrelling siblings, loving couples. He sits there as he has done for years but nobody knocks. Wearily the old man turns and watches his friends' faces in the...

I still remember the day you stole my innocence away. The world shifted— colors drained from golden light to endless shadow. It started as a simple conversation, slowly pulling me down to your basement. I was only 13 years old when you left me to walk home on shaking legs. At first, I thought I deserved it— because fear stole my words before...
