You are the knife
That slashes
Gradual, tormenting

I am the bandage
That heals
Quietly, fragile

You leave a scar
Foul and throbbing
On you children's hearts
Becasue you beleive
"With every scar, a story."

WOW. I really wish I had written that. Honestly, this was so powerful, I've read it six times now. Great work!

    Thanks! I have a lot of stupid errors like that in this poem. (Like spelling errors and stuff). My typing ability was off that day...

Very well written. (Just "you" should be yours next to children.) Very clever in separating the stanza with different thoughts. And how everyone represents something unique.

I really like how you had such a short poem, that had such a strong meaning, Those 3 verses have an amazing meaning that follow with them
