My scars are my intimate friends
They helped me through my darkest hours
I sliced
I bled
Hurt and pain tortured life
Scared and afraid to confront the reason why
My only control over a life lost and black
I sat in my bath ritualized my cutting with intense sincerity
Such emotion when the blade cut deep
Oh my God what relief
What satisfaction
Tenderly I bathed them and dressed them
Spoke to them
Tears of pain
Tears of regret
My scars are my intimate friends and live with me always
I have learnt to caress them touch them and accept them
as part of me
They are me.
