Scar

To cope with the uncertainty of life
is to walk bare footed across hot coals
red fiery rocks...

Pooring my heart out was never easy
But I hope you'll understand me
There's no where else I'd...

Her life looks happy but her heart is sad
People don’t realize what’s she been thru or never had...

When I was 11, Zebras were my favorite animal
I wondered when I was going to get my stripes
...

His hands pushed me to the ground.
How do I save myself?

Hs fingers pulled down my underwear...

Over ten years of this.
Scratch
I look OK, but I hide it well.

Her arms hide
under frills of the past.
She calls it art.
But others might say:...

Don't shrink back
Don't disappear
Stop running, stop hiding
When someone comes near...

I could try
To reach the sky
But I could never
Get that high

I can run far...

They say your not up to love

That you've been hurt before

Are you really going to leave me broken?
Gasping for air; choking?
I thought I was chosen....

The marks on my wrists
aren't hard to miss.
But they're just from cats,
playing, as is...

Is it the scars she carries?
Not those of the flesh,
superficial and to heal, to be forgotten...

We are of scars
you and I
cut from blades kill-sharp
by those we once held
to...
