The stigma of eczema
I have eczema
Yes eczema,
That itchy rash that you see kids with
Except im not a kid
Im an adult
An adult who has lived 23 long years,
With eczema
But how can that be?
Isnt eczema a minor inconvenience?
A short term problem?
Or are you overexaggerating
Stop scratchinh and it will go away
Youre not scratching because its itchy
Its for attention or a habit
Here try this, it will fix it....
Stop this stop that
Its your mind thats the problem
Not your skin
No
No its not
Eczema isnt just an inconvinience
It can be a debiliyating disease
A disease that strips people of dreams
A disease that makes water feel like acid
A disease that people get j
Time fades the memories
Time heal the wound not the scars
The scars remain forever
Hidden from view of others
In a secret world full of pain
They will remain
Part of your eternal soul
I am lost
one of the thousand souls wandering the wasteland
seeking comfort
seeking escape from their minds
trapped in a world where every road leads to darkness
every path leads to despair
searching for that one light
that means everything will be alright
the pain gnaws at my skin the feeling of 200 blunt needles runs over my shaking body,
the pain is too much i bite, burn and scratch at my skin till it bleeds.
its the only thing that soothes...
the haunting voice of my family and doctor repeats through my mind....stop scratching....stop scratching....stop scratching....
do they know what its like to leave it alone?...
i curl up and think of my school ... itchy and scratchy... freak...eczema bitch...thats what i am at school
at the end of the day my shirt is speckled with blood, my skin cracked...
my skin wanting freedom of this hell
Staring in to the deep abyss beneath me
i step forwards waiting for the darkness to swallow me
i am sick of this life
i am insignificant
worthless
a waste of time

I'm trying to escape,
trying to get away,
trying to ignore what they do,
forget about what they say.
No move I ever make,
can ever be one right,
every simple thing I say,
always starts a fight.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect,
the way I'm supposed to be,
the thing is your slowly killing me,
why can't you see?
I'd really like to run away,
where someone would understand,
to someone who could see my pain,
and gently take my hand.

They don't stop, They won't stop.
Why, why must you continue my suffering.
The air for screams has long been gone,
Words to beg, words to scream, words to reason are mouthed unseen.
Did you not have family, friends, loved ones like me.
Do you feel no shame as you defile me?
You continue to ravage my body, blight my soul without end.
Time has stopped,
There is no future for me now.
Only this torment without end.
Without end, without end, oh why, why can't this all end?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." (George Santayana) These words uttered by George Santayana, say what the whole world should learn from the Holocaust. Unfortunately, the world did not listen to what George Santayana said and the past was repeated. The past was repeated in Darfur, Rwanda, and other ignored areas of the world. The essential reason that the Holocaust must be remembered is that if it is not, then the Holocaust will be repeated again and again. Also, the Holocaust must never be forgotten because if it is then all its victims will die a second death. As long as the Holocaust is remembered, then its v
bleeding through cracks in my skin,
I go to moisturize, bandage, peel it off, scratch at it again.
in this constant self-healing process,
bits of me fall to the ground, and i'm taught to be okay with that.
i thought crust on a scab was bad
but it's good crust.
spread it across your breastplate and nibble at it like ants,
never really anywhere
caught in a no-mans-land sandcastle, brittle in the winter.
Faking placebos,
imitating a cave you know,
the hole you dug beneath your father's grave.
It was stuck behind a shrub.
Possums scattered at the sight of a car light.
I'm in the coffin and your dad is the boyfriend.
no rise from the ashes
no gh
