I have scars
Scars that are buried
That no one can see
That no one knows of but me
Scars that only I know of the source
Scars that don’t seem to heal
Scars that burn
Scars that threaten to bleed
We all have our scars
I want to tend to my scars and clean my bruises
But I am too scared
Too scared they would bleed
The invincible of our scars are the most hideous
Most dangerous
Most painful
I want to tend to my scars but I do not know how.
