The scars
if i am not the scars
etching the lines of my skin
then what am i?
i am not a beauty queen
or an artist
or a poet
i do not bow
i do not pray
not a common sinner
not even a holy saint
i am a shadow on the wall
i am just a faceless monster
i am the scars on the lines of my skin
the ones i etched so meticulously
because this existence i am living
is one i wish i wasn't enduring
