The mark I leave behind.
Hi. some of you may know who i am. some of you may not. But… yeah, either way, I realised i rarely share any of the stuff i write. this is just something i wrote not too long ago. I was supposed to submit this to my writing group but decided to post it here instead… lol. So yeah. bleh. here it is.
The mark I leave behind
The mark I leave behind,
will it be a scar?
A reminder of the demon I was?
Will you ache
to rub it off your skin
the way I need to shed
my past, my plastered pain,
my scars, my life?
You can go back to the beginning,
but nothing would change.
We both know it would be the same.
The child I was crawled and grew into a girl
The girl trudged on through life
and became a hungering ghost
only to haunt her own corpse
I could start my life again,
but I would always reach
the middle, the mess I made
of my life.
So when it’s time for me to leave,
Will the mark be everything I dread?
Everything I see in myself?
Will you wish I was never there?

@LoveMyMoonflowers beautifully written<3 the words reflect the pain so well. Hope you're doing okay<3 Some of us have to deal with a shattered life and are so hurt by the brokenness of it all but it won't be the thing that defines us, I hope it's the strength that we show, the love that we carry and the kindness with which we glow. You'll leave a beautiful mark, you're a beautiful soul :)

I love how you capture the internal struggle and the weight of the past. The imagery is so vivid, especially the line about the "hungering ghost" haunting her own corpse – it really hits hard. It’s a beautiful reflection on marks, both literal and emotional, and what we leave behind. Thanks for sharing this – it’s really striking!
@LoveMyMoonflowers
The phrases you used were so clever. The word choice was pot on! ^^ It clearly shows the depth to the misery portrayed through the lines you wrote. I find- 'Only to haunt her own grave...' - extremely moving. I hope you are okay and find peace with yourself. <3
