I wear these scars for a reason,
I fought my way through each season.
And although those wounds do heal,
they don't erase how I feel.
A deep release they may give,
but that is no way to live.
So I am still not set free,
from the legion of demons in me.

Don't judge when you see our scars,
they don't define who we are.
We know that theres scars in us all,
we all get hurt when we fall.
But in this we've found a home,
together we're never alone.
For when we all share our pain,
a family and healing we gain.

It's not always what it seems,
these traces of lost memories.
And though you think that it's wrong,
it just reminds me I'm strong.
Those marks all came from the past,
something I didn't let last.
So I'll wear my scars with pride,
I will defeat what's inside.

Like a pheonix we can rise from these ashes and be born again into a new life. The past will die and fall away, but the future is always there.

It makes me very sad the fact that people don't understand...

ahah, no problem.
well, I guess I started 3 years ago, after my boyfriend dies. I used to use that as an excuse for having my life down. After a while I started to have other reasons to cut myself.
Then I stopped, around october 2008. Sometimes bad things happened and I just cut myself... usually on the leg so no one could see it (no one like my parents...).
After many months of "pure happiness" (and no cuts), something terrible happened and well, I did it again.

For the last time.
And I'm quite sure about it.
I met this guy and he ... well, you know :)

gosh! that's the story of my life! ahaha
dah, first time I talk about it! ahah... really!
well, second maybe, but... with a "stranger" is for sure the first time!

what about you?
