What are scars but life lines engraved in my hands, etching across my skin, imprinted on my mind Ink stains on my slate Dark shades seared across my face Permanently skewering my sight. I squint so hard to see the light my eyes turn red and still nothing I cry my heart out and see nothing I light cause a lights my light. It’s just easier to spring when a cherry blossoms

Why I Light
What are scars but life lines engraved in my hands, etching across my skin, imprinted on my mind Ink stains on my slate Dark shades seared across my face Permanently skewering my sight. I squint so hard to see the light my eyes turn red and still nothing I cry my heart out and see nothing I light cause a lights my light. It’s just easier to spring when a cherry blossoms
