New Marks, Old Scars

New marks over old scars Reminders of past mistakes And the present ones likewise Red marks next to pinkish scar tissue Painful reminders made permanent on skin Each type and shape, of a different experience All bringing about feelings of numbness The pain no longer hurts you anymore All you feel is a high like rush Before crashing down into darkness Everything becomes nonexistent around you Nothing feels to have any consequence Slowly you emerge, back to the surface And regret and sadness wash over But when it’s already over what can you do About new marks over old scars
