                          SCARS
           A POEM BY ABDULGAFAR

All over my skin, lies marks that I made.
When I was so low, I cut with a blade
To punish myself for being a mess
People call me crazy, for punishing myself that way.
But what these people don’t know is that,
Seeing these scars left on my skin in the future
Will always make me remember that
I was once in a place of no rest.
Though, I feel guilty inside for leaving this scars
Later, I will see and remember that I was so broken and lonely
Seeing this scars in the future, will push me to help those
Who are also going through what I am going through now
Seeing this scars will make them believe that I survived so much trauma
And they can also do it.
Seeing these scars will make them stand with me in my fight against
Trauma and depression.
These scars will serve as an inspiration to them, that I was once depressed
And so weak.
But now, I am free and strong.
So I ask you to stand with me and fight,
To show all these demons what they’re doing is not
Right.
You will win the battle of good versus bad.
You are still alive and are no longer sad.
So when the people see me making these wounds on my skin
That leaves scars behind,
They should not insult but praise me
Because even as I was weak, I was still strong inside.
Here on my skin lies several Marks of Survival.


DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH DEPRESSION



I may not be the best at my field, but I guarantee you that I'm going to die real. That's an Epiphany. ©RealPoetry ©AuthorOfPain

This poem is talking about Friends. Virtually each one of of us are friends to other people and we also have friends. But do we really have Friends who can stand with us during our difficult times, times when we have problems and need a shoulder we can rest on?

This poem is about pain. Its difficult to understand other people's pain even when they try to tell you about it. We all feel different kinds of pains, it could be as a result of injuries, too much work, old age, and so many other things, but this poem isn't talking about those kind of pains. The poem is talking about pains as a result of betrayal, heartbreak, loneliness, denial of your fundamental human rights and things that deal with emotions, feelings, thoughts and behaviours not injuries. But one things with this pain is that, if you are patient, strong and tough, one day this pain will be useful to you. Without pain and sacrifice, we would have nothing, so you just have to be strong and not let the pain finish you. New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

It is normal in this life for good things and bad things to happen to everyone. But the actual truth is that, there is good in everything that happens to us, if only we search for it. This is a story of two kids, who were orphans, so they went to live with their grandfather who was an alcoholic. One of the kids following his grandfather’s steps, became a chronic alcohol addiction and the other became a successful businessman. When both were asked “why are you the way you are?” Their answers were the same “because my grandfather was an alcoholic”. The same event, the same childhood, two different outcomes. This is true for almost all situations. One decided to become an alcoholic because he’s grandfather was also an alcoholic. The other decided to work hard so as to provide food since his grandfather was an alcoholic and wouldn’t be able to cater for their needs. The same reason, but two different outcomes. what happens to us is an objective reality, how we respond is a subjective
