Battle Scars

There are battle scars across my skin

marks of sadness, marks of sin

marks of my undying love

marks of the pain that i can't get rid of

these battle scars that i create

are all sings of my sadness, all signs of my hate.

i just can't seem to let go

i just can't seem to let my heart show

I'm broken inside, yet i pretend to be strong

sometimes i just don't wanna carry on

sometimes it seems I'm losing the fight.

I'm trying, I'm pushing with all my might

these battle scars, they stick with me

they're a part of me, and they always will be

they've become a part of my past

always and forever they will last.

my battle scars my blood red tears

my battle scars my sustained fears

these battle scars tore me apart

they've ripped, torn, and dismantled my heart.

these battle scars are a result of losing the battle with the knife

a result of losing the battle with life
