What Would You Do?
You see my smooth wrists
And assume I'm just fine
But you can't see my thighs
That are covered in lies
Put there for a reason
Hidden and covered by cloth
So that no one can see it
Scared to be hated or judged
It's my dirty little secret
But it makes me feel okay
If you saw would you ask if i'm good
If I told you my secret I bet you wouldn't keep it
Would you make sure I'm fine
Or would you blame it on the cat
Would you judge me without a reason
Or would you leave me like they did
They left cause they thought they were better
They left me broken and confused
They are the reason I sting
But I know if they saw they would laugh
They would take pride in breaking me
So if you saw these scars
Would you turn you head and ignore,
Or would you help me find a cure?
-A.G.
