Challenge
The scars you cannot see are the hardest to heal.
Just write.
unseen
there are scars under my skin
like an itch or a swelling bruise
pinching and dabbing until it bleeds
I secure my fears under the curve of my heart
they hide there, threading the burning light
wounds are made deep,
cut incrested with sharpest of blades...
those wounds are sneaky
and travel fast
reaching the tip of my battered soul
under the surface of a ticking bomb
that is my broken heart
filled with needles and pins
stuck there by the ones
that meant no harm
or so they made it seem...
my scars are weapons now
they hold me in place
they make me strong when
I want to be weak
my poker face is high quality
but even that eventually falls
showing the scars
that were meant to be unseen
so show me your scars, my friend
and I will show you mine
