Warrior Scars

I have scars where no one should. I can pull up my sleeve or pull up my shorts. My wrists, my hips, or my heart. Which would you like to see first?

Now before I start, I must say this: 

I don't weep because I am broken nor for my pain. I weep for the people I have come to know and have lost. I do NOT mark my body anymore as I have learned to live and see life for as I want to see it. 

So take a close look at the scars I have before I cover them with my strength.

My biggest scar is across my wrist on my left hand. I marked my body for the nights that I cried because of the pain someone inflicted on me. He marked my body without a care in the world. Deflowered me and took my innocents away without bating an eyelash.

He didn't get to suffer from anything. 

I covered that with my strength. Yes it was something I went through. But I grew from it. I found out how to help others. To teach them how to stop it and to see the signs. I covered it with a dream catcher with a wolf paw print in the middle. I was thrown to the wolves by my family who didn't believe me. That's okay because I returned with strength and my head held high. In other words I came back the leader of the pack. 

My next mark is on my hip, that's from the multiple heart break I have received and the place where no one would see. But they do see. Sadly. But I learned. Out of 7 billion why let 1 person ruin your happiness. Are they truly worth it?

Yes they broke your heart. Yes it will take time to heal but do NOT mark yourself for that. Its just a constant reminder that they had control over you.  I covered those marks with a skull and a gun through its mouth. It shows that I will remove their power from my mind. I am able to live without marking myself. 

My tattoos mean everything to me and all have a meaning

My very first tattoo is 9 bats on my neck. Meaning- for the many nights I never slept and the many to come. 

My second tattoo is for the negative, I removed someone who once meant a lot to me because of the insanity that over took their mind. 

My last tattoo is unfinished but one day will resemble my lost way that is now found! 

I cherish the art upon my body for it shows my strength over my weakness.

Others don't see them that way but they do not stop to ask. 

To mark your body is to remember the pain. 

That's sad. 

I do NOT wish to remember.

I regret my marks. 

Sure they have made me who I am.

But I could have became the person I am even without marking and inflicting pain to myself. 

So I hide my marks with tattoos. 

They are still there.

Just harder to see

(Please do NOT mark your body, you do NOT want to remember the pain. Please grow old, cherish your life, and learn to love what and who you are!)
