Forever Scarred

Renewed,

Hopeful,

Free.

Scarred,

Hopeless,

Imprisoned.

I thought I had broken through,

That I had finally overcome the darkness.

But I was wrong.

I was clean,

Free from temptation,

For a little while...

Then it all came rushing back,

And before I knew it

I was in the bathroom again.

With blood stained arms,

Tears rolling down my cheeks,

And a crimson blade in hand.

Once again,

Wearing hoodies year round,

Hiding the fresh cuts from the night before.

I thought I had made it,

I thought that I had won,

But it was all a lie.

Once scarred,

You will be

Forever Scarred.
