Blood and Scars

I bite my lips

Unil they bleed

To feel the pain

And taste the scarlett

As it leaves

*

I tear at my skin,

At not existent blemishes

Until they begin

To exist

In such a way that they

Turn a rather alarming shade of red

Until the point when I know

That they will become scars

*

Maybe it is easier

To make myself

Bleed and

Scar

Than to recognize

The same

Wounds
