Scars.

I used to cut.

My skin yes,
But that isn't as important.

What matters is I used to cut my Soul
I used to tear down my spirit
Flesh by flesh
Fiber by fiber.

I saw my soul and de-humanized her
She was of no importance
She did not matter
And I almost killed her.

On the outside, she seemed fine
Happy,
Content,
Beautiful even;
But that was not the case
She was a liar.
Because she really was not okay.

She was dying.

And as the blood dripped from her side,
Her soul slowly dripped with it
Like a stray waterfall of pain.

But this is no sad story.
My soul did not die.
I did not let her.

I was the author of my own sad story; I chose to change it.
