As a storyteller and avid music listener, this song speaks to me. I nearly ended my life in May because I was so lost and trying make everyone else happy. I came out of the ward, a new person. My past stays in the past and I am driven to make my mark on this world. There is more to life and there is help. Please keep writing that beautiful story.

That quote is very true there are many out there who even in their youth get stuck in that terrible place in your mind that u feel will never ever end. People out there go through a lot feeling deppressed, trapped, unloved, unwanted, or even suicidal. Just that never ending cycle can tear someone to peices. Some people even just bottle things up and isolate themselves from socializing, doing daily regular things, feeling hopeless or no modivation to do anything, or even taking care of yourself. It is hard especially when u isolate yourself to a device like a computer, or phone to listen to songs that make u actually feel as if you're not alone.. And it's also very hard when family members put u off as lazy, ungreatful, selfish, or some kind of horrible name just because u are deeply depressed and no one helps.. I hope someone reads this and actually understands these things.. It hurts me to think the world has just gone cold. No one cares about your feelings or just assumes u are lazy, rude, or just plain fine when u need help most. Even if u try your best some find it not good enough and push u to do more. Or the never ending expectations from parents, or family members that digs u even deeper into the terrible emotions u feel. Especially when u actually try to talk to a loved one and they just say "You're just being dramatic." Or "U always have something wrong." But yet once u tell them "I'm suicidal" They finally listen after so long. But then still just don't understand.. And that's fine it's just if u weren't in that situation and someones trying to vent about their feelings u can't judge them! Or whoever u try and vent to (like a loved one) and they just put u down for it or make u feel as if you're a failure that doesn't belong.. And some people struggle with this and even no matter how hard they try still nothing changes.. Sometimes when people vent they tell their situations and then it seems as it finally went through once someone says " I've been through it too." And just as u get your hopes up they crush it all over again by doing the same awful things to u and not ever hearing u out.. Then u end up in therapy.. If no one else will care to listen nor put it to heart you're trying to explain yourself but it doesn't change.. But after a while it will. U just have to have hope and build your confidence! U can't sit there and let someone treat u bad or judge u for the situations others put u in. I've learned instead of sitting and letting people put u down u need to stand up and tell them u are human too!!! U ARE HUMAN TOO!! And no matter if they like it or not they can't control u nor tell u how to feel. It's just not worth all the pain not fighting back for yourself. And you may be wondering how I understand this.. But beleive it or not that was all I was put through and through my 12 years of living I've related to all Citizen Soldiers music and I will get past deppression soon! I'll remember this subject and take to heart for as long as I live!!! 😆💖

I learned not to look at my scars as a reminder of my weakness and sad days, but as a reminder of how low I fell and got back up. How strong I was to hold on and later even move on. Thank you for this song guys, you're saving lives and giving hope to everyone who finds you.

Used to pull down my sleeves Used to put makeup on So everyone would think I'm fine and nothing's wrong I buried all the pain Used to feel so ashamed Of all the things I wrote About myself with razor blades But I kept holding on Until the final page Survive the story 'Cause the ending changes everything And now I wear my scars just like tattoos Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through I've learned without a doubt every mark that Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose And now I wear my scars just like tattoos 'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof Another chapter written in the story What couldn't kill me made me something so brave I wear them like tattoos I've held my story down I've swallowed every scream Thought if I wasn't fake They'd think that I'm a freak I buried all the pain Used to feel so ashamed Until I learned that you can't change the past Just choose the frame So I'll keep writing songs Until they know my name 'Cause there's a kid out there that's hearing this That's in that place And now I wear my scars just like tattoos Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through I've learned without a doubt every mark that Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose And now I wear my scars just like tattoos 'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof Another chapter written in the story What couldn't kill me made me something so brave I wear them like tattoos No more dysmorphia, I will not grieve The darkest days that made a masterpiece I choose to celebrate what made me me 'Cause a heart of gold, no it don't come cheap And this heart of gold's one the world will need And now I wear my scars just like tattoos Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through I've learned without a doubt every mark that Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose And now I wear my scars just like tattoos 'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof Another chapter written in the story What couldn't kill me made me something so brave I wear them like tattoos

This is where I am right now. Learning to love my mistakes and my wrong choices. God made me this way for a reason. To help someone else in the someplace I was.

I’m gonna cry, damn. I’m so glad to see this kind of song from y’all. I always worry how y’all are. Thank you for this song, because I felt so heard.

[@sapphirelord6876]

This song is beautiful. Absolutely Great. I love the three new songs that came out with the album. They just had me at tears

[@CitizenSoldier]

It's ok to cry 🧡

[@kropka226]

I would give up a world so you come to Europe for a tour. You are the only band I am really invested in listening to. Almost every new song makes me cry of so many emotions, even though my darkest times are mostly behind me. Few days before this song came out I got a tattoo on my scars, not to cover them, but to make them more special. Thank you for everything you do. There is always a kid out there, that's hearing this, that's in this place...

[@Ashiro_Sasaki]

This song is just absolutely beautiful and brought me to tears. I love it 🖤🧡

I love tattoos and scars. I'm a survivor. Thank you Citizen Soldier. ❤❤

[@anaclaraana1511]

I was so looking forward to this song because it's been a few months since I stopped cutting myself and it's been really hard since every time someone sees the scars they're either ridiculing or giving some motivational speech and this song made me feel much better than them, thank you

[@CitizenSoldier]

Appreciate you Ana 🧡 Glad the music helps

[@ao_golden_ao7627]

Listening to this for the first time, I started crying. My best friend sent me it and said it reminded him of me.. This song hits so close to home and honestly made me realize that the scars left over aren't something for me to be ashamed of but a story that shows that I've made it so far. They're my proof that I survived my bad days..

[@angeldust6666]

I used to be ashamed of my scars. I been in really bad stuff in the past and until now. I used hid them like it was nothing. Now I look at the scars I have, it makes me stronger everyday.

[@lisa.ly6677]

This song today really touched my soul, brought happy, inspirational tears to my eyes. Thank you. Thank you.

[@SomeWannaBeArtist]

I would have left a comment earlier if I hadn't replayed the song more times than I breathe. Watched the video and listened to this song so much already. Out of all the songs Citizen Soldier put out, this is my most relatable and my favorite. I've healed and have gotten stronger than ever thanks to my parents and this band, thank you Citizen Soldier for.. everything

[@elinadocheva1062]

"cause there's a kid out there that's hearing this, that's in that place" - this line made me cry. 🥺🥺🥺 This song is just so beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us 💗💞💞

[@Mingisleftpinkytoe]

I really used to hate my scars so much cause my mom kept repeating that they’re bad. But this song made me love every single one of them because it’s true, my scars are what make me, me. And your scars are what make you, you. Now I look at them differently cause they make me who I am now and they tell all the hardships that came my way

[@BenthewildchildE750]

Thank you so much for this song. ❤

[@TheOGtokublaze]

Heck yes! on time for a new upload! i love you guys! this band has got me thru so much! and prevented me from ending my life many times! thank you for the great motivational songs!

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad the music helps 🧡 Stay strong friend

[@kennyB0990]

What a beautiful song. I have had multiple ex's be very reluctant to show themselves, due to this. None of you should be worried, the most beautiful thing, is that you're here for us to see these scars. You've stayed strong, keep staying strong. Maybe I didn't have physical scars, but I put myself through hell in ways as well. Just keep fighting, someone gives a shit about you, someone notices you, someone needs you.

[@melindawatson2191]

Thank you for another amazing song! This song hits deep for me. One of my favourites.

Glad to hear that Melinda 🧡

[@nightfall9000]

This song is really heartfelt and beautiful. Thank you for voicing the things that many of us desperately need to hear.

[@naomifurer2653]

Wow this song hits so hard I cried throughout the chorus. I used to cut myself every day and it took so long for me to be able to uncover those parts for people to see. I’m still ashamed of them sometimes, but this song just gave me strength 💪🏼❤️thank you for making such beautiful and real music, I love you guys ❤️‍🔥

[@pikaluna]

Im here for you😊

[@alanapotkonjak7]

I have had this song on repeat crying. I have never heard an artist make me feel so normal. And i just got my depression anxiety and ptsd semi under control and this song its empowers those. Not only did I listen to it and think i overcame my deppresion but I also used to be in an abusive relationship and I got out survived and now I am currently engaged to an amazing man. However this song hit my heart because every scar is proof i could have been dead and I survived and made it through to the other side. Keep up hope. I was ready to end it all tons of times but it IS something you can overcome! thank you Citizen Soldier because of you these songs are a life line to what I what through and for finally coming out on the other side. I couldnt have made it without the help of your songs and knowing i wasnt the only one feeling completely worthless

[@dxrkness4802]

Yet another heavy, yet beautiful masterpiece of a song. You really are something special man, keep up the good work. Your songs have gotten me through so much, and I make sure to share them with everyone. From the bottom of my heart I love everything you do. Stay strong.

[@CitizenSoldier]

[@bangtanarmy5991]

I relate to the every single word of this song specially " the darkest days that made a masterpiece ", I've felt like this for a long time and used to hurt myself bc i hated myself but now I'm proud that I hold on and whenever I remember of my past , always a smile appears on my face bc I was so strong . Thank you for writing this song , nothings better than a song that makes you feel good about yourself 🤍
