Scars
I have scars on my heart
Scars on my brain
And scars on my arms
Some are hidden
Some are not
I am emotionally broken
But I can get better
The scars on my body
Remind me of who I am
I once was in a dark place
But now I am carefree
I used to think of what other people would say
Now I just smile and make them go away
Although the demons have won
That doesn't mean I have gave up
I will now be happy
Without messing up
My scars are here forever
But they are beautiful too me
They remind me that I never gave up
And that I would be happy.

Yes, I used to harm myself. I am okay now, I promise. I am currently over 100 days clean (about 3 1/2 months) and I'm PRPUD of myself. Never give up.
