engraved

the scars that are
engraved into your
skin are beautiful.
they show that you carve
out the things
you hated in that moment.
they show that you still had options,
and that you still had hope.
that you still wished that someone could save you from you're never ending nightmare.
those are battle scars
from the mental wars
that were happening inside your head.
those scars are unique.
