POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: Self harm I looked down and saw a scar Of where I used to be. A long, steady coursing line Down my arm. My scar invited me down it’s course, Down its bright red river. My curiosity begs me to go back. I am weak from days of crying, Nights without sleep, And no strength on which to lean. It would be so easy to press back down And reopen what I closed. I just have to keep trying, Have to keep fighting.

Old Scars
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: Self harm I looked down and saw a scar Of where I used to be. A long, steady coursing line Down my arm. My scar invited me down it’s course, Down its bright red river. My curiosity begs me to go back. I am weak from days of crying, Nights without sleep, And no strength on which to lean. It would be so easy to press back down And reopen what I closed. I just have to keep trying, Have to keep fighting.
