Living Scar
By AllenTaylor
Blood and sweat paint the ground
Pooling around the toes
Hollow
voices billow around
Beads
of grief sleep on the nose
Waiting
for the final draw
Naked,exposed
and marred
Cutting away
this lifeless flaw
Dying
to become a living scar
Razor Blades and rubber bands
Shattered dreams and empty hands
Cutting deep to feel alive
Crimson warmth on the outside
Razor blades and rubber bands
Riddled wrists from twisted demands
Existing to be cut apart
Dying to become a living Scar
Empty
words dance in the brain
Torturous
and vague
He views himself
as the human stain
The plague
to end all plagues
Spilling
to the bathroom floor
Praying
to reach the stars
Emptied
from his inner core
Bleeding
to become a living scar
Your sleeves can only cover the surface
Striving and crawling to be perfect
