One Shadowed Past

Emptyness shadowed over her
No feeling
In her body,

These blades
Taken to her skin

Had this pain
Bring her back to reality.

Now these scars
Only hide a past

One of struggles,
Dispair,
Of a depressed child -

To, whom is now
One happy woman.

All the pain

Just a memory.

All things thought,
But very few, have been...
Regretted.
