Dislcaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.
Personally, I'm not attracted to the "Raven cutting herself" stories... but this insisted on being written. And I don't say no to Ryena. Or else she throws things. Thanks to Haunting Whispers, animeobsessed3191 and kmutt for reviewing!
-Scars Go Deeper-
Scars go deeper than the surface
Raven pushed up the sleeve of her leotard, looking at the criss-crossing lines
They're only the fading reminders of a deeper hurt
A troubled mind
Because something had to happen
To make them
They tell those who see them
That something is- was- wrong
Formed by a purposeful hand
Or an unstoppable accident
The pain is a scar on the heart as well as the body
Though the mind cloaks it
Hides it in a fog of time
The heart remembers and may chose to reopen the wounds
Revile in sensation that is purely physical
That needs no thought
She looked at them, the blade in her hand glinting lightly
Scars go deeper than the surface
A moment passed
Go deeper… to a troubled heart.
Slowly, she put the blade down and pulled the sleeve back, covering the white lines. Uncertainty, a moment of weakness… and then she turned, exiting her room.
But they fade in time
With the troubles that they show.
