Scars

by DMonica_1364

One scar

Two

Three scars

Four

Five scars

Six

Seven scars

More

In this war

Against myself

I cannot win

My story lies upon my shelf

Most of these scars are in my head

Until one day

I turn up dead

I'm a person. A genderfluid person. I am the way I am. If you got a problem with that you best to go away and do something productive with your life. I have major depressive disorder,anxiety, other shiz. Within the past year I have explored my love for the lgbt community and a]have broadened my understanding of the people in it. One Direction has probably had the biggest impact on my life, which sounds stupid but whatever. I fell in love once. She was the first girl I liked and my first/only love. Of course it fukced me up because my heart could handle it. Alanah was her name. I still love her but I'm not sure if I'm IN love with her. Falling in ReverseAsking Alexandria, the Janoskians, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Twenty One Pilots, and Simple Plan are only some of the other bands I like. You should know I keep it real. I'm also pansexual. And I lovvvve ittt. Well Baii. I LOVE YOUUUU. Maybe.

<p>You are such a wonderful writer. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I feel like I can relate. In my opinion, every scar tells a story. Scars mean that you've survived. I have depression, PTSD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I know that it's hard. And I know that people just don't understand. And unfortunately they never will. Writing and art in general are great ways to escape reality and it can also help to ease the pain. I put all of my emotions into my poetry and music and I suggest that you do the same. It's a great release. Keep your head up. You're perfect in your own way. Screw other people. Just keep writing and doing your thing. Stay strong. -Caity
