YOU WERE THERE

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

I lived a life of hell
Rejected
Taunted
Beaten 
For things I couldn’t help
For being the way that I was
I tried reaching out
Searching for someone
Something
That would ease me comfort
Show some mercy
I stood there in the darkened corner
Reaching my hand out
But they just walked on by
Spitting upon me as they walked
Not caring about how I felt
How I bled
And what was about to come
On the outside
I was exactly what everyone wanted me to be
Long blonde haired blue-eyed beauty
‘She should be a model’
They’d say
But on the inside
I felt unloved
Violated
Used
The time came when I gazed into the mirror
At the person who I used to be
Took up the razor, held it close to my wrist
Put it to my skin
Then the door opened
In you walked
Silenced my tears
Thank you
For showing that you cared
For without you
I wouldn’t be here.
