Writing On Arms

Ink nor pencil,

write these stories,

upon my skin.

Writing on arms,

a blade... my weapon of choice.

Each scar tells a story,

a tale, a battle.

Whether of love or pain,

it's all the same.

The blood pours just the same way.

The pain travels just as deep,

and I die just as much.

your poetry is really good. It's so simple yet powerful. I wish my stuff was this "direct" and concise. I envy your poetry. Do you revise and choose your words very carefully or just let it flow??
