I’m writing on my legs to hide the scars
Sitting down I’m only watching cars
Yellow red blue green
Normalcy just makes me scream

What happened to my happy smile?
I’m fake happy now for a while
Waiting for my life to fade
All happiness is our charade

Flower petals
Ripped to shreds
Symbolizing
My regrets

There are only one or two teeny tiny errors, but I like the idea :) Except the transition from writing on legs to watching cars is kind of awkard?

This is so sad. :( I like how the last stanza is shorter than the rest.
