Scars on my face

Look like freckles

Short nails

Remind me of old, bad habits

Sass wrapped in a condescending tone

Insults hidden in sarcasm

Confidence gone in a blink of an eye

All my life, self-esteem has never been mine

This is how bleeding leads to beauty

Freedom & secrets

Cuts & scars

The thoughts that lurk in the darkest corners

Sneak out when you feel you have no other choice

& I never know when I go too far

Until it’s far too late to turn back around
