her scars are a reminder of where she’s been
of a place she never wants to go
a story in itself of pain
a secret she never wants to show

cause if you see them you’ll recoil in fear
for they cover all her legs and arms
a place where she is safe from all
a spot that only she harms

and if you ask her, that’s another story
one that no one dares to see
a story of loss, hurt, and pain
it’s the story of my life…just me
