Look closely at my skin
You’ll see faint scars of where my journey begins
Scrapped knees
Broken bones
Childhood memories from long ago
Look a little deeper
You’ll see the broken heart of teenage years
Self-harm through many tears
My skin holds many stories
Some filled with laughter and fun
Some filled with heartache begat
The scars on my skin hold a past I have not forgot
To others, it may seem a bit strange
Maybe a bit deranged
I love my skin and the stories it holds
My skin shows a girl who never fully gave up hope
It shows a girl who stands strong
My skin is full of scars, cuts, and bruises
A story that yearns to be told
As a ray of hope for others with skin like me
To see the beauty in the scars and burns
Other people tend to judge when seen
Our skin is beautiful and full of mysteries of one’s unspoken history
