The History of My Skin:
The Life of a Survivor
By Lester Williams Jr
(LR the Writer)
Every scar tells a story
Every bruise is more proof
Every burn is my curse
Every mark is tied to my heart
It’s the largest organ
I was born with
It’s the greatest tool I have
To give you clues of my truth,
It’s the layer of me
That everyone sees
It’s the part of my body
That is most likely to bleed
Every scar tells a story
Every bruise is more proof
Every burn is my curse
Evert bruise speaks my truth
It’s an open book
With a few hidden pages
It’s a map to help you
Understand me and my history
It’s a series of codes
That was made without words
It’s a grim reminder
Of my physical trauma
Every scar tells a story
Every bruise is more proof
Every burn is my curse
Every stain still brings me pain
It’s an abstract art piece
That’s hard to completely hide
It’s my devil’s masterpiece
That they made deliberately
It’s the surface of my soul
And a part of it is always exposed
It’s a curse and a blessing
That stores damage and protects me
Every scar tells a story
Every bruise is more proof
Every burn is my curse
Every wound
Is one of the reasons
I sing the blues
It’s my personal logbook
Of the damage I took
It’s a barrier
That can never fully recover
It’s an organ
I need to protect
From the elements
It’s a part of me
Even when
I don’t want it to be
Every scar tells a story
Every bruise is more proof
Every burn is my curse
Every injury
Is an example of my misery
It’s a sample of my sorrow
That you can see
It’s an example
Of my devil’s professional work
It’s a storage facility
For my many unwanted memories
It’s my skin
And it gives you a window
To see the hell I’ve lived in.
