Own Your Own Suffering

There is no mystery to the lines marking my pale skin, Just a scarring on the surface, displaying cries within, A simple antidote to all that's sick and ill; All the remarks that torture, all the insults that kill.
The need to own your suffering, as natural as breath, Let no outsider have a hand in your sweet inner death, They mess you up, they leave you cold, they care not for your tears, At least with these, your smiling scars, you have hurt without fear.
Ask not of me my reasons for this sad survival skill, All other blankets turn to ice, but these marks warm me still, It's easier to cope with something as feeble as pain, Than with broken hearts that can't be stitched up again.
