SAFETY PINS

It’s written on my skin
Ink for each Sin

Dug in deep
And slaughtered from within
Broken
Tangled
Jagged
Hints of metal
Tints of black
Flakes of flesh
If it’s what it takes
If it’ll hold together
No matter how many times it breaks

Give me Safety pins.

Mend my crocked soul
And make it whole
Sew back together the slashes
And staple together the shattered pieces
Throw out the tattered clothe
And whip away the thoughts
That cling desperately together
Upon my back
Clip my wings
This angel no longer sings
Take away the pain
Of playing this cruel game
Give me safety pins

Look into the broken mirror
and see the lost dreams
That were once dear
Grasp the nightmares
That dare come near
Protect me
I am blind
I no longer see
The light that’s to shine
I am mute
My ears are covered
by the shadows of our despair
I am suffocating
Because there is no more air
I am hollow
I am bare
When you left
You took me
But left the shell
When I fell
You ran
You broke away
Without a thing to say
Give me safety pins

It lies on the floor
Tore apart
You broke it you know
And now there a space
Where there should be a heart
Pieces are missing
No one is listening
To it’s steady beat
That echoes against the walls
Or the dripping blood that falls

There is no way to put it back together
There is no way to shelter it from
The storming weather
It’ll never be whole again
Give me a safety pin...

An urge to put the broken pieces back together
even if it's only by safety pins--weak connectors.
Such loss of hope. You captured sadness so well.

Keep writing.

this is an amazing projection of all the things that go on in the world, all the things that can be going on in one high school class room. I only have one comment besides the one on its amazingness. After the lines
That dare come near
Protect me,
you go into discussing being blind, and then mute. but, the way you phrased it suggests that the light makes you blind, and your covered ears makes you mute. i dont know if this just slipped under the radar, of if it was meant to be like that, but...besides that.. I love this poem, it just reminds me of all that i can do to help those around.

Thank you for the wonderful comment. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for the lines:

I no longer see
The light that’s to shine
I am mute
My ears are covered

The point of thiose lines isn't that the light is blinding, it's to state that the light isn't seen. While moving on to the covered ears line, it's meant to mean that the narator is blocking out everything around them, not un purpose but by the choices they made their hearing is being taken away. Sort of like accidental self harm. :) There's a lot of meaning to each line, but it takes a lot of thought to untangle them.
Thanks so much for reading. :)
