Scar Tissue

I look in the mirror
Naked, lost.
Searching my body for scars,
Remnants of the war
Raging inside of me for 22 years
I look for stretch marks,
On my stomach,
From the baby I never had.
Stab wounds over my heart,
From all the times it been broken.
Slit marks on my wrists,
From all the times I have felt like giving up.

I don't see any scars
Nothing to remember
Nothing to remind me
All I see is an endless sea or normalcy
Nothing but skin,
unscarred by my transparent life
