Hi there!
I absolutely love the similes and metaphors you've used to emphasise your points made as it paints a brighter picture for the reader and adds to the really well-developed imagery of the poem. The first line is really powerful and it drew me into the rest of the poem, so well done for that. Also, the last lines are well-written as they again pack in a powerful punch at the end, particularly the full stop, as it creates a sense of finality about the poem.
However, the breaks between the words are a little strange, and I'd avoid them as it disrupts the natural flow of the poem. Maybe to adjust this, you could separate the phrases with line breaks instead of spaces between them. Also, the line 'each scar on my body and mind tells a story' is a little cliche, so maybe change the language of this to pin a different meaning onto it? You could change story to history, and replace tells with a more judicious word choice.
Other than that, a really good job. Well done!
