Scars Are What They Are

S)cars Are What They Are.
C)uts are deep.
A)nger dwells inside
R)age becomes you
S)ilence is the end.

A)ctions make wounds
R)ibs are broken
E)yes stay swollen

W)rist's  are bruised 
H)ate engulfs you
A)buse is from you
T)humb's are sliced

T)oes are blue
H)ead has gashes
E)lbow's have rashes
Y)elling will not go unpunished

A)rm's are knifed up to the bone
R)eality here is death that awaits
E)ngulfed in horror is my life.
