Scars are Forever
December 4, 2013
I have white slashes on my skin,
A reminder of all the pain,
That tore me apart in those horrific days,
An incision,
A wound,
That forever reminds me who I am,
Branding me with a mark,
So that I will never forget,
The terrible deeds committed by them,
Stretching up my arms and face,
They cover my body with no space left abandoned,
Gray and ugly they make me look like a freak,
A monster to those who can’t see past my skin,
Hoping that they will disappear is a false hope,
They are here to stay,
Because scars are forever.

It's hard to find someone on here who I can relate to so much. Fantastic job. Keep up the writing.

This was incredibly good and haunting, I know exactly how you feel. But it's better that they're scars and not fresh wounds.
