Face To Face With Fear

Face to Face with Fear
The burning of flesh,
The smell of skin,
The fear of scars
from within.

A glance in the mirror,
A look on the face,
A tear from the eye,
when you feel out of place.

The pain and suffering,
one may go thru,
Wakin' up everyday
having people stare at you

Only time will tell
How it will heal
Taking off the bandages
not knowing what it will reveil
