Do You Not See?

A poem by Writerial.

NOTE: Hey, it's been a while since I posted something other than Writing Prompt Wednesdays, so I found this poem that I wrote a little while ago on my computer and I thought I'd post it. Uh, it's pretty dark, so sorry...

​TW: Self harm, suicide

Do You Not See?

Do you not see the way my shoulders sag over time?
Do you not see the the cracking along my face and down my spine?
Do you not see the anxiety, fresh in my mind?
Do you not see the peace I'll never find?
Do you not see the pain in my eyes?
Do you not see the sorrow, the lies?
Do you not see my fear at every turn?
Do you not see my world start to burn?
Do you not see the terror I feel?
Do you not see my strength start to peel?
Did you not see my pain all those times?
Did you not see the scars, the lines?
But now as you stand, my tombstone before you,
I ask one question: Now do you see?
