We're all defected in some way.
By scars.
Caused by people.
Caused by dreams.
Caused by drama.
Caused by trauma.
Caused by chance.
Caused by wounds of all kinds.
The deep ones.
The shallow ones.
The gaping ones.
The narrow ones.
The fatal ones.
The poisoned ones.
The minor ones.
Caused by weapons of all kinds.
Guns.
Knives.
Words.
Looks.
Thoughts.
Bodies.
Chances.
Everyone is defected by scars.
But these scars are our stripes: identifying us as strong beings.
Stating who we are.
For you're a tiger, and you've earned your goddamm stripes.
btw. . I was talking about you
