Scars

We sometimes have pain on the inside, but we cannot see it, so we damage ourselves to make it become real.

I carry the scars underneath
There is no button to erase or delete
Always there in the depths of my mind
Yes to try and forget I have tried

As the years go by they increase
I don't have a way to release
These feelings all pile up
My daily life they interrupt

Sometimes the bad energy emerges
To the surface the emotion surges
I can feel it bubbling under my skin
I don't have the strength to hold it in

Scars that once stayed in my mind
Began to accumulate on the outside
Several thin lines on my arms and thighs
I could see them with my own eyes

Now my body is the reflection
Of my once invisible infliction
I stare at the damage I've inflicted
How could i have become so addicted

this piece is so hreatbteaking. i relate with this on so many levels, hurt is so hard to get over and sometimes it sticks with you forever. pain is a hard thing to deal with and a hard thing to go through and i feel that in this piece, well written!!

Yeah pain can be tough, especially when you can't see it. It's easier to deal with pain like a cut then with one who can't see. That's what I meant in this poem. Thanks for the review. Appreciate it.
