Scarred on the inside not on the out.

Scarred on my mind without a doubt.

Scarred where no one can see, in the head.

Scarred in another world. A world for the dead.

Scarred, all over, not like the tamed.

Scarred... Should I be ashamed?

I was inspired by this when I was upset with myself, thinking I was different.

Gil: I would like you to read my novel and get your opinion.&nbsp;<br /> Ernest Hemingway: I hate it.&nbsp;<br /> Gil: You haven&#039;t even read it yet.&nbsp;<br /> Ernest Hemingway: If it&#039;s bad, I&#039;ll hate it. If it&#039;s good, then I&#039;ll be envious and hate it even more. You don&#039;t want the opinion of another writer.&nbsp;

Wow, nice job. I liked the refrain of 'scarred,' and also how you ended the poem with the question (and no, I don't think you should be ashamed :3 ). The only things I would change is in the last line, I think more syllables should be added to make it flow better and then in the first line after 'inside,' a comma needs to be added. Overall, very nice poem! :)

Life is a maybe. Death is for sure. Sin is the cause. Christ is the cure. :) <br /> <br /> Love is the breath of God, and prayer is the melody that makes it sing. <br /> <br /> If you cant annoy someone, there&#039;s no point in writing.<br /> <br /> Love is overrated, marry for money.

I just love the way you write! I love how it rhymes, although some times it feels forced, but it's still very good!
