memories on my skin

sweetwords

there's bruises on my neck that only I can see,
but there's scars on my thighs for everyone to look at


it's not fair I have to live with them both
it's not fair that I see them when I look in the mirror
why do you think I don't look?

there's too many memories written on my skin
too much to see, too much to not 
too much to deal with and not add to 
too much written on my skin

  • L. B. Mek

    ('woe
    in our strife tattooed, skin
    and
    a shattered heart's incessant
    ache'
    breath, as respite and Nature
    as our cadence of soothing
    somehow, someway
    we find a way, to take one more
    step
    to hope, to wish, to dream
    and eventually, realise
    that better, we know we deserve!)
    stay strong!

  • Myth

    After survival, the mirror and memories usually meet. The eye sees nothing but sadness and something bitter that extends from the past until reaches the wall of the heart.
    There, the poem is born as an illegitimate child who struggles rejecting the beautiful tomorrow and insists on living yesterday again and again.
