This post, "Outcasts" by Sorrowseyes and a talk with a friend were what brought me to write this poem. To tell you the truth, that blog post hurts... it's very... Real. Honest. Powerful. And in the end, it is summed up with important Truth.
You are not alone.
And if you are reading this and have this struggle... Know that I've prayed for you.
This post isn't an accident or a chance.
I'm here to remind you there is someone who cares -
More importantly, God cares.
Don't give up hope.

Wounds
4/27/14
Ah,
friend,
You'd
never know, looking at me
How
broken I am.
I'm
a sliver of glass
Shattered
from a mirror.
I
reflect what you expect me to be.
I
smile now
But
tonight I'll scream into my hands,
Silently
begging
The
pain to go away.
Silently pleading
With God
To ease my sorrow
Or take me Home.
Home with Him
Away from this pain.
Inward
pain.
Outward
pain.
The
pain in my heart
And
the pain I bring myself.
For
now
I
press it all down deep
And
tell myself
Everything
is really just...
Fine.
I'm
fine.
Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
I'm
really just fine.
But
the darkness presses at my mind
And
all my thoughts find focus
In
a longing
To
dull my pain.
I
can dull the pain
With
moment of causing more...
You
smile at me
Never
even guessing
How
the wounds in my soul
Are
leaking to stain my skin...
My
broken skin...
You'd
never guess
How
often the longing overtakes me
And
I'm left to deal with deadening ache
As
I break myself
Again.
It
started out small
But
I found too late
That
I'd fed a growing monster.
Now
it claws my heart to shreds
As
I do what I don't want,
Yet
find myself needing to continue,
For
fear of
The
pressure constricting my mind.
Fear
keeps me
From
seeking you out
To
help me.
Fear
And
shame.
I
hate myself.
Hate
the things I do.
Hate
what I see when I see myself...
Wondering
for the thousandth time
How
far would our friendship stand
If
you knew.
Please,
I need to know...
Would
you love me still,
Even
if you knew the truth?
That
thought mocks me
A
thousand different ways
As
I hide.
I
long for you to reach me,
Hold
me close,
And
stay
Even
when I try to push you back
By
telling you I'm fine.
If
you could see
The
truth
Would
you stay with me?
I
need you to know
I'm
not okay
But
that doesn't mean
I'm
beyond hope.
My
skin is broken -
So
is my heart -
But
I am still clinging to God
And begging Him to send me
Someone
To love me
Beyond my weakness.
Can
I trust you?
Can
I trust you to see
Behind
the scars
And
to my troubled heart?
If
you saw my struggles
Would
you...
Still
see me?
Please
Don't
leave me
Alone.
