internal scars
When you’ve got too much on the line, it’s hard to balance
And I always seem to have a bit of extra malice
Built up in my body, are there internal scars?
Because I can’t see if I wanted to.
And I still get grateful each time I see the stars, because that means there’s no clouds in my view.
But clouds don’t crush hearts and crash bikes, that’s what I do.
And each pen is my vessel to sail to my confessional
On pages stuffed in my drawer.
And each bit of attention, its own bustling convention.
Do they think about me anymore?
There’s a gallery of things I wish I could be
But none are for sale
So I’ve resorted to stealing

This is one of my favorite poems that I've written in my private poetry book. I've never shared my poems to really anyone before, I was just prompted to by my language arts teacher who read a poem I had made for an assignment and encouraged me.
