I close my eyes tightly <br />And bite down on my shirt <br />Knowing it's about to hurt <br />I breathe slower <br />Take a minute to relax <br />Then lift my sleeve up <br />Mark my arm <br />Then light an insent <br />Blow out the flame <br />Take a deep breathe <br />Then bring the hot ember to my arm <br />Start to make my mark <br />Halfway through I stop <br />Realizing my room smells like burning flesh <br />But I cant stop now <br />Keep going till i'm done <br />A couple of minutes pass <br />I put the insent down <br />Light up a newport <br />Then I think to myself <br />What did I just do? <br />Before I can answer myself <br />I smile and laugh at myself <br />What an idiot I'am <br />Oh well <br />Just another scar <br />A scar that represents me<br /><br />Ashley Olson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-scar/
