Someday I'll be cured,
I'll shed my skin
Be new.
Someday I'll be found,
I'll stop being lost
And live.
Someday I'll be free,
Show off my arms
Scars faded.
Someday I'll be known,
For my troubling fight
For freedom.
Someday...
Today I'm in pain,
The wish to harm
beats hope.
But,
Someday I'll be cured,
I'll shed my skin
Be new.

Twisted Up Inside
Would you ever know the feeling,
Of being twisted, over and over.
Much like a string of high-tension cord;
Ready to snap at any moment.
You are barely controlling this swell of emotion.
Keeping it taut, lest it burst from the surface.
A plastic smile serves as your only defense;
Witty banter, to stave off a deeper inquiry.
You hide the signs of your sickness;
Quickly easing the pressure.
Whilst appearing to adjust the suit,
You move through the crowd like a fading wisp.
Rushed, sweating and just barely contained.
You duck into the shadows, so you might breathe again.
-Chen Yuan Wen, Broken World Series, 13th November 2013

The Individual
You wear your skin, with mask of sin,
A spiderweb of lies. Of "individuals",
Breaking ties, alone at last
They seem to hide, a fixation of vanity...
I am the "individual"!
This is my golden ritual,
Refuse all that is me,
A web of lies I be!
But can you see, what you've become,
Showing these scars made by none-
Other than you?
They were made just for you...
They were made just by you...
Made to be pitied too...
You are the "individual"!
Lies are your golden ritual,
Refuse what you should be,
To live with agony!

Broken Little Girl
Empty eyes
Filled with sorrow
Empty heart
Filled with agony
Empty soul
Filled with anger
Look at her
Look at what
You turned her into

I love how you created something that speaks to so many. It gives people hope and not just in the sense of cutting, but even in the sense of people whose dreams never came true etc.
