My Body is My Scetch Pad

Id cry my face dry
if i could make that many tears
id slice away the pain
and envelope my fears

each drop of blood is comforting
i just like the like the way they look
id scribble lines of emotion
in every cranny and every nook

my body is my scetch pad
designs and lines galore
some people will never understand
they tell me not to do it anymore

this is part of my independence
this is who i am
but each day im finding it harder
to just not give a damn
