Engraved Scars

by Lewis   Oct 7, 2007


You've engraved names I can't forgive you
Of into my mind. And you wonder why I
Can't look at you, cursing me with a
Plague that's killing me slowly, painfully,
Tear shedding. Leading me into insanity,
You might as well say.

I look at the future, the present, the past,
I don't know how much of this I can stand.
But I can tell you one thing, its coming back
To you 3 fold.

When I look into the mirror I see the names
That have been written by your mouth, said
By your mind, and the full blown attacks by your
Potential to put me down. They itch and burn
Trying to rid them off my body, but after some
Time, they're still visible to the eye as scars.

Scars that remind me day to day, my self
Confidence slowly fading away, eroding.

And when my mindset is finally on track,
You throw me one more storm to
Struggle with. Swiping my happiness,
Flooding my mind with nonsense. One more
Name tattooed with hatred.

When I meet new people, I'm labeled once more.
Who are you to judge? I need not to show my inner
Being, so I don't give you the false accomplishment
You were seeking. So do me a favor and
Get the hell out of my life.
