the scars you cannot see
February 3, 2014
i wake every day
to face what my past has made of me
i try to fight it
i try to hide it with a smile everyday
even though
the pain i am able to wash away
the scars make their stay
like tar in my heart
the scars you cannot see
are very visible to me
i ask myself
what has become of me
how could he
the scars you cannot see
every now and then tend to break me
i wake everyday
to make my way to the day
i wont have to keep running away
always trying my best to hide the pain
in the scars
you cannot see
are now a
part of me

This is sad and painful yet very powerful... you described every feeling so well that i could picture the scene very clearly. it's like you put on your feelings into words. I can certainly relate to it cuz this is a moment we all happen to go through once in a while. So keep it up!! It's amazing ^_^ 5/5 srtars :D Thanks for sharing this
