Good luck Quote by Kaile Stewart
“I wish I could peel off my scars and seal them in a manila envelope Then hide it in the back of my wardrobe, along with all the sleeveless t-shirts that still have their price tags on Just so I didnt have to be reminded of my mistakes every time I look at my arms Do you see me holding up a poster with I SELF HARM written on it? Or holding out my severed arm to passers-by? I dont loop razor blades on a chain and wear them around my neck like a good luck charm My parents brought me up by the Leviticus quote You shall not make any cuts on your body¦ Now I carry this secret around with me like a Mormon carries his Bible All year long, I wear the longest sleeves I can find And still worry that people can see the lines across my arm through the thick fabric You think I plaster this smile on my face because I am happy But you dont see the desperate, hurt look in my eyes You think I am writing this poem for attention But I am probably the only person who will ever see this”
