A bulging wound, a scar made intentionally

they call it art or rebellious ways,

but for me its just a way of reminiscing,

I embedded my skin with the black ink

because they distracted me from overthinking

they made looking scars bearable and somewhat admirable

but the eyes will only judge

whether its a painting at the roadside,

a victim under scrutiny, a nervous kid,

a beautiful girl, a harmless hobby,

even the tattoo on my wrist.

What an interesting thing it is.
