The Scar

"A scar that won't go,
A scar that resides in me,
A scar that people see,
Is not the scar that I see.

Deep down, it's not just brown,
It's the pain that I endure,
The struggle to breathe,
The mask of happiness I can no longer wear.

The scar appeared, a heartfelt plea,
A symbol of my innerself."
