TRIGGER WARNING

~self harm~


No one notices them.

Sprinkled across her left wrist

Markings that remind her of the pain that sometimes creeps up on her in the dead of night

Or worse

In the middle of the day.

And all she can do

Is create a different pain.

A pain on the outside

To pull her focus away from the pain on the inside.


Scars


At first glance you can't see them.

You have to look,

Actually look 


Scars


The only thing left

Of the cuts she once made

For the outside pain

That pulled her focus away

From the pain she felt on the inside

Every day.
