Your Cuts aren't Pretty Darling

Scars are not beautiful

they're lies printed on your flesh 

lies that you'd be okay

but you're never okay

that's why they build up

lie after lie after lie they build up on your skin

and there's no one to kiss your scars

and tell you they love you

because they're oblivious

my sweet crimson heroin 

shoot me up and leave me to die

amongst sticks and stones 

blended into knives

and my failure of words

daintily scrawled on my legs

to drag me down and drown me in mud

to suffocate in my own filth 

and no flowers bloom from my pain

because this is reality my dear

not pretty lines romanticizing my dependency on pain
