Little scar on my arm proves to my eyes, I have endured, and I am still alive. 3am, I am reminded that I opened holes to my soul, To prove that I am human, To prove I am in control, I am reminded that everything I am is rooted in this, blood. Dig me a new home in the muck and the sand and make me a new man. A love poem to my arms, for I am grateful. I hear my brother sing and you feel like home, my skin. I felt alone and I was lonely. But I know I am alive. I know I am alive. I know I am alive.
you are forgiven.
I suppose I should forgive myself one of these days for what I did, To me, to you, to this skin that lives on my arms and by extension, my wrists.
