Today I sat in the sun after a long time
I was looking at my body, my legs
Then I noticed the scars on my legs
Scars I created out of self hate
Scars I created out of hate for my reality
Out of spit for the life I had
But now I’m different
I’m grateful
For the body I am in
For the life god has given me
I think these scars are a reminder to be gentle to myself
That I am still growing
I can’t be perfect
These scars are a reminder
It gets better
