Beneath my scars
an underlying story,
a journey to my past.

Of what I've seen,
and what I've done,
it all went by so fast.

The blades, the cuts,
the blood I shed,
the help would never last.

My friends, they came.
The showed me Him.
His love I'll never lack.

And now I'm free.
He gave me strength.
No, I'll never go back

I can relate to your situation. When you have a tough time sometimes it seems like it would be better to take it out on yourself. But you are so strong for over coming that obstacle. Great job! If you get a chance could you read my poem A Pink Watch, Portal, and Perpetual Sea? Keep writing!
