Heavy dark marks implanted underneath
The wavering barrier of my skin
Recording all my misgivings
Repenting my sins

The weighted lines
Sinking down into my wrist
As my weak skin cells
Fail to resist

Hisses of pain leak
From my clenched teeth
But until the phrase is finished
No relief

Wide itchy letters
Finally engraved
My forever label
Never to fade
