Scars of the Past

Lingering feelings always kept me up at night

Interested only in the flustering type

I want something past the surface

Something that makes the demons take flight

Each time I open my eyes, from restless dreams

Drenched in sweat, I want to be free

Hands wrapped around my throat

Relieves my anxieties

The misunderstood and reckless types

Risk taking leaves no room for passive simple life

I hope I left some scars

Deep down I don’t know how to fight

Scorching myself to feel some peace

Lost in my own misery

I want to express these inner thoughts

But they never seem to come across

I ignored every sign, just to feel used

You could have said the truth

You played too much

Now I feel ashamed and invisible too

Running from the past, just to feel it repeated again

I was never built for a simple life

I see these ugly scars

I thought they made me have more charm

I let your wants tear down my reality

The person I was, was just a filler for you

I knew I could never be, Ms personality

I’m sure your happy, I am too

I fell in love with a man who notices me

He sees every scar

And takes them in so effortlessly

Leaving me with only memories
