Scars
a beautiful victory
so much pain in one line.
it tells a horrible story:
nobody saw the sign.
it tells of untold pasts,
emotions released in slits;
we'll see how long it lasts
until again the skin splits.
maybe some day far away
those lines will fade
just a reminder of the gray
in which they were made
but for now they will stay
never again to be a mystery
unhidden, out on display
because they are my history.
