Let these scars bear witness to my suffering

 I am a man that bruise easily. Studs and leather may break my bones but gold and silver excite me.

I carry my precious belongings in a clutch, but who knows what I carry inside. A gun or maybe some hurt along the way.

 I am fragile, but let the world see me as a tough bitch; ready for action, ready for regret.

It is always better to be regarded as a tough cookie than a fragile being. Why invite others to hurt you and everything that you treasure most?

Alas, the animal in us is all we have to protect us from the evil that is the world.
