You degrade me, push me down, and hurt me. But yet I would take on a army for you. You make me cry, you make my soul sting, my heart clench up. But yet I would take a bullet for you. You notice my scars, then tell me to smile. But all you do, it's impossible for me to smile. I etch some more into my arm, afraid of disappointing you, the one who caused these wounds. "Don't yell." I proclaim. I may not be able to smile. But my flesh can.

Smile.
You degrade me, push me down, and hurt me. But yet I would take on a army for you. You make me cry, you make my soul sting, my heart clench up. But yet I would take a bullet for you. You notice my scars, then tell me to smile. But all you do, it's impossible for me to smile. I etch some more into my arm, afraid of disappointing you, the one who caused these wounds. "Don't yell." I proclaim. I may not be able to smile. But my flesh can.
This is a story about how I had the smile cut on the top of my hand.
