Torture and pain
harsh words
unbearable memories
years pass
hurt worsens
no one listens
no one cares
they just watch
or can they actually see
maybe
you stare through your hollow eyes
watching everyone's actions
when the coast is clear
you sneak away
hoping no one will notice
they never do
alone you get lost in yourself
that is when
everything comes back
to haunt you
the deeper you go
the harder it is to come back
filled with hate even more
it carries on and on
over the years
all the hurt and pain
has stayed close by
never leaving your heart
it goes on
day by day
all the scars fading upon your skin
the scars that once
made you feel an ounce of happiness
the pain
that burning feeling
continued
you can't just wash them away
they mean too much
as the years turn into decades
every once in a while
you look down
at your arms, legs stomach, chest
you stare at those scars
you once made
the scars now faint
the scars that still burn
the scars that remind you
that you exist
