Scars-2

A Poem

By Atomic HistorianPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

A head full of scars

Not from barbs and bars

Or even a stray car

No

They’re from the pain of life

They make me friendly but distant

Doing my best to survive existence

    Personally, I don't think my best is going to cut it.

    What a deep poem, sad, because it seems you are just existing with no joy.
