"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

They laugh,

I don't understand how,

my emotions are gone,

there hidden,

underneath my sleaves,

when people see my scars,

there eyes get larger,

they ask,

'why do you hurt yourself?',

I just laugh,

'are you okay?',

they all ask the same quetions,

'why?',

the truth is,

I Hide.
