Skin Deep

I’m scarred.
I have wounds on my body that won’t heal.

I’m tainted.
I have thoughts raging in my mind that won’t be silenced.

I’m desperate,
to find the place in which I know I belong.

I’m lonely.
Living in a house with no one to come home to.

I’m terrified,
that my life has meaning that I won’t discover.

I’m “different”.
I don’t share your thoughts, your opinions, or your ideas.

I’m tempted,
to end it all and move on to another world.

I’m tormented,
by the thoughts and the screams that I hide with a smile.

I’m healing.
Because these scars are only skin deep.

I’m learning,
to love myself and allow others to love […]
