Sad Poetry

Wondering

I used to wonder

If it was normal to leave scars

All over your brain

But then I realized

That no matter how abnormal it is

There is no changing the one thing that

Remains constant in my life

The mental wars and battles that I fight

Leave scars that stay for life

Affect my decisions

My self-worth

Self-loathing

Depression

And all of the emotions inside me

But then I found out that the weirdest

Thing that I do,

Is leave physical scars on my body as well

Once my mind had no more space

For new scars

I began to let the emotions pour out of me

Using the blood that runs through my veins

And keeps me alive
