I love my scars because
They're all mine.
They are my history
Recorded on my skin.
They are my history
That i don't want repeated
They are a reminder
Of where I've been
And where I don't want
To return.

Once upon a time
there was a little girl
with all the potential in the world
until one day she discovered
the horrible truth about it all
and decided
she wanted no part of it.

The worst loneliness
Is when your alone
In a room full of people

They're not the ones
Holding you back.
You blame it on their
Expectations.,
But really you're just
Scared
To be something other than
What you're used to.
When really,
You could be,
So much more.

Sometimes you must
lose everything
just to find yourself
again.

The hardest thing about leaving
Is deciding what it is
I want to forget
And what it is
I want to remember.
Because sometimes,
The good memories
can be deadly,
too.
