If My Scars Could Talk

I have a scar on my right knee from performing the role of the older brother trying to help his little sister and in the end the bike would crash and the pedal would leave a lasting reminder

I have a scar on the top of my head from a metal pipe being swung down with force. What I did to deserve this action I can not tell you for I was only three

I have a scar on the middle of my forehead from learning a lesson that walls will not move for the fastest five year old on the planet

I have a scar on my right wrist from a time that was dark and desperate. In the end I did not achieve my goal but introduced a behavior that I have fought for decades

I have a series of scars on the inside of my left forearm that have accumulated over the years and although their appearance is disorganized it is a map of my past

I have a large scar on my left forearm that I do not remember creating but do know that the fear associated with this particular mark has kept the blades locked in the box

I have a large number of scars that crisscross my body and when someone says something about them I reply “If you do not like the scars on the inside than you do not want to see the ones on the inside”

I may not remember the time that all of my scars were created but each and every day they remind me of the same thing which is mental illness may be kicking my ass but in the end all that still matters is that I am still here. take care
