let me show you my battle scars;
they form on the insides of my wrists
and the dark corners of my mind.
let me show you my pain;
how tired i am from the taunts in my head
and the oh so many
voices.
let me tell you how they came to be;
how i lay
bloodied and
bruised and
broken, hanging limp and injured
after a ferocious battle with
none other than
myself
let me show you my battle scars
in the hopes that you'll heal them;
and if not, then,
learn to love them
for these are reminders that are
permanently marked on the wide expanse of my skin.
reminders of my resilience
and the life I am learning to leave
behind.
