Physical or Emotional Scars
June 14, 2018
Why should I have to hide?
Afraid of being labeled,
afraid to be different in an otherwise perfect society.
Why should I feel the need to hide?
Behind a smile,
Behind a face of makeup.
What happens,
when I decide
to stop hiding?
Stop covering up.
Stop hiding my face.
Stop hiding my scars,
Emotional or physical.
