Scars Or Cracks

SnakesShadow

This is my first poem that I'm going to put on here. I've not put anything else up since I just haven't had the motivation to do so, but I've got a little bit right now. If you don't know why I'm uploading something like this, check my profile and you'll see. This is a pretty short one and one of the only ones that rhyme, but I will be putting more short ones up since I write most of these on the spot, wherever I am.

Are these scars or cracks that I see upon my skin?

And do they truly tell the story of where I've been?

Because that's what I've been told time and time before

But it doesn't feel that way when I lay down on the floor

Staring at the ceiling

Not ABLE to know how I'm feeling

Because when I get depressed I become numb

More tasteless than a piece of chewed up gum

That's been left under the desk for the teacher to find

Just another example of what's wrong with humankind

At least, that's how they treat me

And then someone else tells me to be like a tree

Tough, strong, and standing tall

But they forget that all trees eventually fall

And, all in all, I'd rather be a mountain

Because it actually shows where I've been

The answer being nowhere

But no one seems to care

Because my cracks aren't scars

They think I earned these while exposed to the stars

When I actually got them while in my bedroom

Locked up so tight it could be an Egyptian tomb

And it would have been if I had cut a little deeper

If my mountain slope had been a little steeper

But, thankfully, I was just left with my scars

Or, as I like to call them, my cracks.

End.
