Lines
One line
Two lines
Three lines
FOUR
I'm sketching out my future
And oh
It's such a bore
I see the ink smearing
Across the tiny of paper,
And I know I know
This is my future
And so much more
But there is something
I have noticed
I have this all mixed up
This is not a paper
This is my wrist
This is not a pen
This is a blade
And this
Is not ink
This is my blood
So one line
Two lines
Three line
Four
I'm sketching out my past
and oh its such a bore
I can see my blood is smearing
Across
My tiny arm
And I know I know,
this is my past
And so much more
So the marks on my arm
are not from the cat,
They aren't from a door,
And they aren't from the tree
They are from this metal thing
I hold between my fingers
To decorate my arm
With the proof I survived
Another battle
I made it
One more day
When u ask why
The scars are on my wrists
And the marks
Are on my thighs
I will only say
This is my story
Written on skin
The story of how
I made it past this war
One line
Two lines
Three lines
Four
This is my story
And so much more
