Scars

I have quite a few scars.

- On my left palm below my pinky finger is a long white line. When I was 3 I was jumping on my bed and fell off. My hand grabbed for something and I believe it hit the bed frame, which was pretty sharp, and it sliced my hand open. At the time it was all the way along my palm.

-On my right elbow there are two rows of scars from stitches. When I was 5 there was a mole there that they originally thought was cancerous (they tested it later and said it wasn't), so they removed it. After a week the stitches were taken out but my skin felt really loose. A couple of days later my uncle picked me up by my wrists and the skin split perfectly and I bled everywhere. They rushed me to the hospital and I got a second set of stitches.

-My right knee has a pink oval scar that is pretty faint now. I was 7 and skipping along the sidewalk. I tripped and skinned my whole knee. My dad didn't think it was any big deal so he just put a bandage over it.

-On the right side of my ribs there is another scar from having a mole removed when I was 16 that was possibly cancerous. It was really big and the scar is elliptical with three dots on either side from the stitches. There's also a really faint square scar around it from the adhesive bandages they put over the stitches. My skin is really sensitive and the adhesive bothered it a lot, I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
