Battle Scars
My scars are different to theirs.
They are proud of theirs and
wear them medals of honour
whereas I'm disgusted by mine
and wear them as medals of shame.
We have both been through a rough,
bloody war. They fight against other
people, I have constant wars with
myself. I can't stop, they can.
We're not that different
from each other yet
so far apart.
Miles apart
yet
so
close
together.

This may sound sick, but it's nice to know that there are people out there who understand and don't think "Oh that's disgusting. Get help". That were not really going through it alone.

Whoever thinks "oh that's disgusting. Get help" needs to be honest with themselves.
You've perfectly captured how all of us have some form of scars to carry with us, some of us more than others.
Mine are physical and while there are those that I carry with honor, others I try to hide at all costs.
Beautiful dark pen!

It disgusts me that there are people like this. Honestly, we all have our problems.
Exactly. We all have battle scars. Whether we are proud or ashamed. I have been known to re-invent the turtle neck trend.
Thank you again for your kind words. My pen is always dark, and that's a promise.
