The Scars I Wear

T hese scars I wear are but emblems of how I feel inside

H ow deep they cut into the very essence of me

E very painful memory has caused my heart to bleed

S oul deep I've been torched as though by a fire

E ach cut being deeper than the one that came before

 

S cars on the outside of my body from phyical surgeries

C annot compare to the nightmares I've lived

A scar may fade with time yet it remains forever

R eminding me that I am still hurting so very much

S tabbing me is the memories of the pain that remains

 

I  wear these scars that nobody ever dares to see

 

W hile I was so beaten, battered, used, and abused

E motionally scarred from the men that I've known

A broken shattered soul that muffles silent screams

R emembering the scars that are seldom ever seen

Wow, this is a very powerful poem! I'm throughly impressed with this piece, I think it speaks to anyone that has scars even if they're invisible.... Great Job!
