My Scars

by John   Dec 6, 2006


There are scars on my face that people can see,
but they cant see all my scars when they are looking at me,
my best friends and even the most wise,
only know of the scars on my face under my eyes

but because life eventually takes its toll,
there are scars you cannot see,
there are scars on my soul

these scars are very real,
these scars will never heal,
a heart can break and then break again,
after each break a scar forms then

dreams that never came true,
words that meant nothing and wasted tears too,
the feeling of being alone,
that is all, all i have ever known

some say scars make you stronger,
but i do not think a scarred heart can live much longer,
at least i still have a heart,
but on it, there will always be scars, scars on every part.
