The cyan of my vessels My bare heart swells Each scratch An inalienable mark A wild flower Fragile and resistant Wraps my emotions Tears by clumsiness Aroused when barely brushed Those who touch it Surprised by its acute sensitivity Unaware of the thunderous impact Of their grazes My scars tell The novel of my interactions With the sad rigidity of reality I do not pick at my scabs I let them gently come away Fascinated by the pink imprint The power of epidermal resilience Proud of my wars against my fragility I accept the aesthetic disharmony Of my childlike bruises I welcome my flesh in search of freedom A skin of soul, adventurous and sensual
