ive seen the posts

saying

"your scars are beautiful"

and i wouldnt know for sure

because i dont have

those scars

but i dont think they are

beautiful

because they arent

supposed to be

beautiful

and thats okay

if they were beautiful

wouldnt everyone have them

if they were beautiful

why did they hurt so much

why did it take so much pain

to urge yourself to do it

if they were beautiful

why

if done wrong

if done purposefully wrong

are the results so permanently wrong

so no

i dont think theyre beautiful

i think you are beautiful

despite the memories on your skin

i think your personality

is beautiful

and i dont think you deserve

the pain you give

yourself

because beauty is not

pain

and pain is not

beautiful

but thats just my opinion
