I Have Many Scars

I dread the day that someone sees them and therefore sees me for who I really am.
I have many scars but I hide them where ever I can. I'm lucky that no one has ever seen them - except for doctors by necessity. But sometimes I fear that they will become a barrier to me being loved. The one person who sees them will run from me.

Does anyone have reveal stories that match or counter this? I'm not here to romanticise self harm. Just the truth for once.
