check the heart
They may check your wrists
they may check your thighs
they may check your flesh
but not your eyes
looking for little slices,
In neat lines.
not for the tears
you try to hide.
because no one can check,
for battle scars.
check the skin,
but not the heart.

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
