Scars

They stain the skin

they leave a memory

for all to see.

for all to wonder

how they came to be

memory engraved in my skin

but for no one to know

the pain it causes

every day to look down and

have my heart torn apart

every time

at the sight of that

small flaw reminding

you who you are

reminding me what

I can and can't do

a past I can't escape

a memory I can't replace

a pain that won't go away

don't Look down

'cause I'll see

the flashes and the screams.

I'll feel the ghost

of the old pain

make its way across

my skin

fighting to make me remember

as I fight to forget

how it all went down

and in the end

you can never win

for there they are

for all to see

tiny flaws across my skin

the pain that lasts

the pain that never fades

the pain that just won't go away.
