How did you get those

What did you do to yourself

Get rid of them

Otherwise they'll think your trying to kill yourself

Why can't I keep them

People will think ill of you

It's my choice though

No

People will be afraid of you

People will think your sick

Why do you do it

I don't all the time

I don't do it for attention

I've tried to kill myself 13 times

I've only stopped because it was so draining

I made the scars to cope with acceptance

I had to accept I have to live

I'd like to keep them

People don't believe me already

I put up with the pain

Let them stay

No one cares if you have scars from surgery

Or accidents, events or experiences

But if there self inflicted it's a problem

It's my arms and legs

But it's their image as parents
