these scars

these scars

these scars that damage me

more than anything else

that break me

again and again

I am alive but not living,

That's the whole difference 

for I am breathing because I have to

but with every breath,

my being hurts more and more

these scars 

these scars that save me

they save me from drowning

because no one keeps me above water anymore
