we all got scars, yes we do 

for some of us they cut deeper than most

thoughts lingering in my head but the loudest most suffocating one is;

why? 

what did I do to deserve this pain?

cuts those heal 

wounds those disappear

yet these scars they remain 

over time they close but the memories remain never leaving yet not bleeding

words that aren't said 

cries and screams locked away 

wondering what I did in my past life to endure this pain in my present life

past, recent, future scars remain 

gotta reframe and keep em tame 

but I don't know who to blame 

not everyone's the same 

you know me 

you know my name

yet, you don't know my story 

now those are scars that run deep 

they seeped into my heart 

carved into places in tore me apart

unbearable hurt and memories that will forever be never ending
