About the Poem
One day I was sitting at the train station and a girl about my ago sat down next to me. I carelessly looked over to her and noticed that her arms were scarred like I had never seen arms scarred before. Slashed and cut all the way up and down, scarred so deep. I had never seen this girl before in my life and yet I felt a strange sadness for her. I wanted to grab her and tell her that she was worth more than that. But who knows if she would have believed me.
Girl At The Train Station |

| you sit down next to me and I look down to your arms they're scarred - so deep 10 times over I imagine you alone in your room crying and screaming slashing at your wrists why? your eyes look empty and like they haven't seen anything beautiful for a long time look in the mirror cover your scars, and look in the mirror you're not so bad this world is not so bad . . . |
