scars

I’ve got scars all over,
Yet they mean nothing to me. They’ve only got some things right; They tell half a story. I’ve got scars all over; I wish they meant something to me. They’re the moments of weakness; Pain etched in memory. I’ve got scars that still bleed, Can’t stop them from ruining me. The pen inked in bitter blood Still writes a tragic story. I’ve got scars that long faded, Yet pain’s still new to me. It’s like I never learned that lesson, Never made that memory. I’ve got scars deep down; I wish they would heal. But scars are never painful If emotions were never real. |

Writer's Statement: My inspiration for my poetry is often a combination of my own experiences and experiences I imagine has happened to other people that I could easily see myself in. Often, my poems are rather serendipitous and finished within a small time frame, and I find that I use a lot of rhyme to express myself. There is a certain intriguing aesthetic feeling I aim for in my poems, and I hope that is enjoyed by you. Thank you.
