Self Harm Scars/ NOT MASKING

I went to the gym today with short shorts and a short sleeve. Both thighs and arms covered in cuts. People were looking at me. But you know what, that shit rocked. I knew why they were looking at me and not paranoid. I saw my friend glance at them in conversation, I didn’t say anything, like ofc he’s gonna look wouldn’t you? That’s a part of me, fuck hiding, period.

EDIT: THEY ARE ALL SCARS, HOWEVER, SOME CUTS ARE NEW, A LITTLE SCARRED OVER. PLUS THIS WAS BOT ABOUT GETTING PEOPLE TO SEE MY PAIN, IT WAS ABOUT NOT HIDING.
