Pain = Beauty

They told me pain enhances beauty
See these scars along my arm? 
The pain it’s always in my chest. 
Tell me, Am I beautiful yet? 

Nights spent crying alone 
Drowning the voices from my head, 
The only way I know how
A different drink, A different pill.

Because, let’s be honest here,
How do you shut out a scream
Coming from your mind? Without, 
Shutting down your body too?

Society told me pain is beauty
I look in a mirror and want to cry.
I’ve been through pain, yet my beauty
Remains non-existent to the naked eye.
