scars II

By ColorMeToxic

She asked me about my scars,
peeking from under my sleeve.
I told her they get whole lot worse,
than those which can be seen.

I told her physical is often better,
than permanent mental scarring
I've had my share of both of these,
I prefer the physical marring.

I'm still trying and failing,
at doing my best to heal.
My life might not be much,
but at least I can say I'm still here.

I know how far this goes, it's hard to exist sometimes. Please put up the fight, it's worth it. Oh by the way 10 beautiful poem.-Mrk

    You're my hero. Every once in awhile, I glance down at mine... I'm so glad that I'm 'no longer' where I used to be. Everyday is a struggle, but that's where we gain our strength. ...hugs... Scholar
