I’ve been scarred from head to toe so many times, it’s impossible to tell the old me from my recent history
My mind scarred from disease
My feet from anxiety
My hands from guilt
My stomach from impurities
My heart scarred from betrayal, never to trust again
My ears from stupidity that never fails to turn on me
My face from insomnia
My arms from inability
My gut from fear
My shoulders from loneliness
My fists from fights
My eyes from violence
My knees from failure
My bones from pain
My ankles from weakness
My reputation from mistakes
And my soul from these dark clouds that refuse to fade...
