    scarlet

    Tears that run

    cuts that bleed

    pain as much as the ocean is deep

    silent screams

    a scar

    a mark

    a hidden life

    so far apart

    a secret colored scarlet

    a lie woven in red

    not always are we found dead

    a struggle to hide

    a pattern to break

    no time to try

    everyone wonders why

    a heart torn

    stitched and glue

    continues to break

    to fall

    to shatter

    fragile as glass

    red as a rose

    scars like ridges

    tattered and worn

    struggling to cope

    wishing themselves a moment of truth

    Dear amithissecret, // I have to say that this a very disturbing poem, because it sounds like something written by a woman of, say, thirty or older, who has suffered a lot. At 14, it is shocking that you have this in you, to bring it out in a poem. I hope it was an exercise, and not a reality. You're too young to even know how young you are. // The poem is well written. You are a precocious young lady. That gives me hope that maybe this poem is an exeercise. I was precocious, too. I used to write exercise poetry in the early days of my life. // If you really are hurting like this, I hope you find healing and safety. I care about people. // This is a 10 poem. Well-structured. The diction easy and accurate. Full of imagery. Esthetically rhythmic. Good poetry, sister poet. // --Michael LP, Mr.Poet

    im sorry to say it was not an exercise even i wish somethings were not true though they are.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
