Scars

scars

you look at your arms
all you see is the scars
they’re holding you back from
who you really are

you remember the pain
how you made yourself bleed
you feel so embarrassed
so you pull down your sleeves

you feel so worthless
so much hurt so much pain
you need a way out
you’re going insane

you are caught in darkness,
you keep it all inside
You sit in your room all day
and hide

the pain won’t go away
until they notice you’re not okay.

The lines and scratches need covering up.
The tricks and lies are not gonna stop.
You tell us you’re done, you start again.
I can’t bear to see you in pain, my friend.

so you made a mistake you did something dumb
won’t change who you are
Or who you’ll become

what you did, is not who you are

so take off that sweater
Don’t be ashamed of your scars
