Show My Scar

Something I thought of while being in depression after a while

The sharp line I see against my skin, the beads of blood thats once before

I always had and always wore

A little cut here, then a deep cut there

Thoughts of suicide everywhere

I kept my eyes shot and shook my head

I do not want to end up dead

Instead I smile and  wear short t-shirts

throw that skinny jeans and put on some shorts

Ignore my depression and show my scar

and be as bright as a shining star

I don't care of what people thought

these scars are of what self harm I brought

letting them speak instead of my tongue

Because I knew my mouth would have normal lies it always sung

these scars are the pain I refused to have healed

as if they were a depression sheild

people frown and look down on me

but when they look at my face there a smile they could see

letting my scar tell everybody

"It was my choice, my mistake, it was my old me"

 

Author's Note

it has been a bit of a nonsense, but it is actually how I felt after being depressed for a long while, self harm is bad, so basically I still have that scar, and proud of it, because I wanna tell everybody that even though I cut myself once, this shows on how I am not ashamed on how I used to be like that, I wouldnt blame you if you didn't understand it
enjoy~

This write has made me admire you, abit. I could never show my mistakes the way you have done. I'm too weak of a person to do so, but I believe you are a strong willed person. This piece shows how you can accept your past, and are not scarred to admit to what you've done. The long sleeves I wear show cowardice, while the short sleeves you wear show bravery. Maybe someday I will be able to accept these scars and show them, thank you for sharing this piece.
