Scars

Longer, deeper, shakier lines 

Running across my arms

Fucking worthless repeating

Like a mantra in my head

Nobody cares about you

Coursing through my veins

Like cancerous poison

Every day I'm still alive

Just one more step

The voices urge

As I stand on the edge of a cliff

It's getting worse

But no one knows

If they knew about these scars

On my wrists

On my heart, soul, and mind

If they could see what's inside my head

Would I still just be

The girl with the colourful hair

Who usually wears giant sweatshirts

Would they accept me

Now that they know

Why I wear those sweatshirts
