Lily
The scars on her back
All that she endured
She never got over it
All these years
She had it deep with in-side herself
And now there are nightmares
And tears in her eyes
She ran so far away
Only to find herself lost
And out of place
Wondering how she even got here in the first place
She struggles so hard
Fights to understand
And refuses to accept the past
Only to bring frustration upon herself
And hate on those who put her there
And the scars are not fading after all these years
They begin to bleed all over again
She can feel the pain
And she cries out
It's only an illusion
A delusion on her part
Her subconscious reaching out
A part of her dying inside
That wants to come out
Come out and breathe
Until the tears fall
The real tears
And she accepts it all
The scars will remain
Only to cut deeply into her
That will drive her mentally insane
As time passes
All that she has endured
It will catch up to her, someday.
A/n: This is a poem for a book that I am working on. I came up with it one day and it just poured out. This reflects what will happen to the main character in my book, named Lily (hence the name of the poem)…foreshadowing, I suppose.
Please do not steal. I worked hard on this.
You're welcome to review as well :)
