“I would rather
have a body full of scars
and a head full of memories
than a life
of regrets
and perfect skin.”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“We all wear masks,
some with makeup
some with smiles
some with wives or husbands
cars or clothes
we hide from the world
and from ourselves
we hide from our truths
behind our eyes
running always from our real
but somewhere there
where truth meets courage
we are waiting to be found”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“BOYS
LEARN TOO LATE
THAT BEING
“THE MAN,”
IS NOT THE SAME THING
AS BEING
A MAN”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“We all wear scars—
find someone
who makes yours
feel beautiful”
― Atticus Poetry, The Dark Between Stars
