Heart of Scars

A Poem by

We all have them
Secrets that can't be shared
The truth too dark to be bared

Dark circles under my eyes
Insomnia is the least of my lies

The air is cold
The path is long
And I know it's wrong

I don't follow the rules
But this place is full of ghouls

The world has driven me there
To places I don't want to be
Things I don't want to see

A world less rough
Is what I dream of

There's always tomorrow
But the past is the past
And the memories will last

All the stuggles I face
Life feels like a great race

It's a rule of survival
The weak will die
So I'll always try

In the face of death I will not kneel
For every injury can heal

I'll get away someday
After the last tear has been shed
And water has turned to red

Fate can be cruel
But I am no fool

There's always Another day
What ever is thrown at me I can take
No matter how much my heart may ache
