More scars

I bury my fears deep in my heart,
I conceal my guilt, but at what fee?
I bear these wounds beneath my skin,
So no one can ever see.

I try to hide my hurt so far,
And sorrow even more,
I bear these wounds beneath my skin,
As I have many times before.

But now my skin is pale and weak,
And the scars start to show,
I can't stop them from being seen,
So everyone will know.

So I hide my scars beneath more scars,
And tell others something not so true,
I'll never tell them what this pain is,
Without further ado.

Very deep. Strikingly expressive, I can definitely relate to some of this. Really though a great poem

I loved the line "so I hide my scars beneath more scars", very powerful and at the same time so painful. Lots of emotions here really wonderful!
