I don't understand why people hide their flaws, like hiding the truth is an internal law. But I show mine off proudly and tell the truth too loudly. Because these scars are apart of me; I show them off so you can see. I wear scars like tattoos all over me. And it's real when they say the truth will set you free. These scars are too tough for you to reopen. I try to hide em and find myself chokin, because honesty is the remedy. And truth is we're all pretty broken; so hiding em isn't a valuable token. It's like playing a game you'll never win, hiding from the light is just pretend. Everything comes out eventually, so why bother showing something you'll never be? Decorate those scars with the highs and the lows, and when you're true to yourself honesty just flows.
