If you really knew me

December 6, 2010

If you really knew me
you would know the scars on my arms aren't an accident
if you knew me
my tears would mean more to you than just a sensitive girls'
if you really knew me
you would know how i feel towards boys....towards girls
if you knew
this poem would mean some thing to you
if only you really knew me.

Yes the feeling does suck but it gives you a knew insite on life and it gives you something to think about and makes you realize that those scars and burdens and everything might not ever leave or go away but there are ways of making them suffice for a while so you can truly know that there are not all bad things in life there are also the good things you just have to let yourself embrace them and see the beauty on all thing not just the dark things.

And I actually do know what you mean by that poem because I am the exact same way I have those scars as well and I carry burdens with me ever day of my life and everything else so I totally know that feeling.
