Beneath It All

Smile on her face,
a cry deep inside.
Wrists never exposed,
too much to hide.
Scars on the surface,
burning in flesh.
Hope to just let it go,
wish to start fresh.

this poem has a lot of pain beneath it and if youve ever ben in this kind of situation(excuse my spelling) Then you understand completely about this poem. I find this poem brings up alot of old emotions for me, (even tho its small) because ive felt the same way. but it is possible to start fresh(:.
