People do not see the scars inside me, the places the darkness grabbed
The scars are so clear to me, I see them all the time
The scars are pain, being grabbed by darkness, pulled down to drown
The pain fills you up too much, all your bright emotions shut down
There is only the darkness of pain & numbness filling you
No one knows this is inside me, no one looks for the scars
They all look at the face I put on, it’s easier then to peek behind the facade
Trauma & darkness scars, people tend to avoid asking how you really are
The discomfort they feel is too much for them, they know what you have been through, the loss you carry
I wish they could know, that just a little show of belief in me, just a little recognition that I am still standing
Is sometimes all it would take, to make the darkness release it’s grip
To start breathing in some air again, to live with all the reminders
To be able to have my happy place, to not feel guilty for daring to live again
To show our daughter, that bad things happen, but you can rise above.
