❝The human skin can be hard to live in. That's why most of us tear it open.❞

☠ ☠ ☠

[TW: self-harm]

you are harming yourself again
their words made your heart bleed
but not the scars on your wrist
the anxiety will never leave
no matter how many wounds you add
with this void feeling, you need to exist

all beings, each and every human
bear battle scars of varying problems
many have struggled to survive like you
you can be one of those
tough and determined warriors
before it's too late, change your point of view

you can shed a bucket of tears
or even more than that if you wish
but holding those marks will never end this
instead, it will discourage your
already low self-esteem
quit it before you fall into its dark abyss

hold your breath, calm down
insecure soul of yours needs to relax
attempt to see those invisible glitters of life
that darkened heart of yours
is begging to see the light
stay away from that bloodstained knife

destroy those demons of self-doubt
they are just parasites, my friend
seek for confidence, you'll eventually get it
until then keep reading this poem of scars
and let the moonlight soothe your mind
while dancing through this in your best outfit

☠ ☠ ☠

darkness will never wipe out the darkness. it just adds more darkness.
with tonnes of love,
SweetSimu.
