Seth Maxwell Poet Free verse

Real Pain

You see the scars
Your scars to harm
To harm yourself
To harm yourself for how you felt
How you felt with all the pain
The pain that won't go away
The pain that won't go away until you feel
Until you feel something real
Something real, real pain
Real pain that distracts the way
The way you feel
The way you feel, your heart aches
Aches from something lost
Something lost
Taken from you
Taken from you, something you loved
The thing you loved
Gone for good
Gone for good but not these scars
These scars that reminds your heart
Reminds your heart to never forget
To never forget, all of it.
