If scars can tell stories
\nmine could write a book.
\nThere are the scars from the whips of my master.
\nI tried to do my best, but he said, “You have failed me.”
\nMy screams are his encouragement
\nso
\nI bite my lip at each whip I receive
\nand
\nnow my back is not the only thing that bleeds.
\nHe laughs
\nthinking himself powerful,
\nHe believes my tears are signs
\nof weakness,
\nbut
\nhe doesn’t know
\nthat these welts on my back show I can heal myself
\nunlike his heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
