Battle scars

This smile isn't my joy
It is more of a reply
These tears don't mean weak
They are the voice of my heart
The red is not blood
It is a warrior's sword

These are not just cuts
These are my battle scars

it'll be okay, if it's not okay it's not over.

i dont really know if this was supposed to be directly linked to self harm or anything like that but im a cutter and i really liked your poem. it was simple but at the same time every word spoke to me and it described self harm in the simplest yet most truthful way.  if that makes sense lol
