I look at my scars
Darkend on my skin
Like spilled ink on paper
They're barely noticeable
Similiar to myself
holding deeper wounds
Only seen as an ingnifiant mark
I hate myself
Too much to be sad
Over scars from past
Im still making new ones
My body wasn't made to last
My mind made sure
So deeply insecure
I promise no-one sees
Always forgotten
Until i open a new one
What have they become
But a reminder
Im a broken window
Everyone sees right through
Tape over the whole
And ignore the shattered parts
My scars arent enough
To signify my pain
They don't scare anyone
Theyre too plain
Endless void of choking
Choking on life
Since I swallow it
No-one cares what's left inside
You may stay scars
I won't hide you
I'll just ignore you
Like everyone does me

Like everyone does me
Ive been ingored my whole life so I'll ignore my own body as well
