I have scars
They’re all over my body
Some say they tell a story
Mine tell nightmares
Those scars kept me alive
Kept me breathing when I thought I couldn’t
Those scars are reminders of the dark
But they also show me how far I’ve come
No longer the person I used to be
I don’t yearn for those scars
I beat the old me
She is gone
I’m alive and breathing
I’m finally free
