The Ink That's the True Me

All the ink

That covers my body

Are the stories

I could never tell 

Secrets I've always kept

Every confession I've never made

Tons of memories

Made into drawings in my body

Things that have scarred me so much

Will literally stay with me forever

All the things that have hit me so hard

Are now visible

You look at me

And judge you might

But I'm covered

With the stories of my life

You use your eyes

But do not see

The girl who truly is me

Every smile hides tears

Every laugh hides pain

Every word hides a thought

Filled with shame

Mind filled with their jeers

Face filled with my tears

I cower in fear

From the pressure of my peers

Razar so sharp

A release from the pain

Leaves a permanent mark

But is so worth the gain

A few seconds of freedom

A moment of bliss

Where else would I find

A way to feel like this

Scars cover my wrist

Thoughts swim through my head

All the words I've been called

All the times I have bled

Bullies will bully

Haters will hate

Cutters will cut

It's our only escape

~I'm sick and tired of being called a fake helpless suicidal bitch. ~
