Scars

Scars I hold scars that never heal I hold pain that cuts like steel I have wounds that run too deep I have memories that make me weep I hold time that stands so still I hold horrors that can kill I have secrets that i cannot share I have damage that i cannot bare I hold terror that lingers on I hold trauma that makes me withdrawn I have visions that cause such fears I have panic that leaves me in tears I hold shame that is all so real I hold scars that never heal
