Everyone has
An idea that
People are only
Measured by
How many scars they wear
But i don't see it

People think
Just because
People don't show their pain
They are incapable of feeling it at all
But i don't believe that

People think
Just because
Worse things happened to them
And the other person is unwilling to share what scared them
That they are faking it
But that's *******

Just because
You cant see it
You cant hear it
You haven't experienced it
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Why do we compare
Our scars
With others
When we
Can get better instead

Because comparing only pushes us one step backwards on the road to recovery
i honestly think comparing ones pain is dumb. by comparing i mean one person might be in need of help and another person putting them down because there scars "are bigger" or "more painful". i think we should all try to bring each other up instead of bringing each other down. together we can get better, not apart.
