I make these scars
On my arm
To show them
They can't hurt me
I don't cut myself
Far from it
I look to the future
I hope for happiness
But I do scratch my arms
When I'm nervous or angry
I do write their hatred
The names they call me
I wear different scars
The temporary kind
'Cause emotions fade
And friends stay by your side
These temporary scars
Are marks of moments
Not just hatred
All kinds of emotions
I have this journal
Where I write my life
The emotion in moments
Happiness and strife
I write these poems
Pieces of my heart
My permanent scars
Each a work of art
Scars should be acknowledged
Not just the ones of hatred
But also the ones we get
From change and love
