dream a little dream of me

Scars

It’s messy

Having to hide them again

The panic that comes with someone maybe seeing the scars

The awful feeling you feel when you tell someone

The awful feeling you feel when a loved one hears you’ve hurt yourself and you feel like a horrible human being (which you aren’t)

Having to tell your possible future kids when they ask about your scars

Having to admit to every new person you come close to that yes, you were once that hurt

You’re stronger than that

You are far too wonderful to hurt yourself like that
