Scars

Found this one on my hard drive. It was from a particularly low point in my life.

Waiting for the time when I
Can see things clearly once again
I’ve tried to hide
But they demand that I make amends.

Waiting for the chance when I
Might make this world seem less real
But I can’t deny
The truth of what I feel

Scars can’t talk
That’s why they have to bleed
I can’t get their voices out of my mind

They stand there and mock
Until I can make them see
That I will make things right

The skies will watch
To make sure that I concede
To the place that’s meant for me in life

I think it’s too much
That they even notice me
Their stares only make me tired


I wish I had the chance to show you
The way this world looks to me
I wonder what it must
Feel like to be free

But instead I'll go on
As a prisoner in my own head
It's like I'm somewhere between
being alive and being dead

'But instead I'll go on
As a prisoner in my own head
It's like I'm somewhere between
being alive and being dead'

The entire piece is wonderful, but that last stanza is brilliant! Great writing!

I like it, but I don't think its Mature Rating. It's adult orientiated, but children feel this way too. Sad, but true. Good work, I like this one. It flows with an energy that shows intraptment.
