Cuts and Scars

-Cuts and Scars-

Cuts and scars

Pain rushes through you

Silent yells for help erupt from inside

But no one can hear your cries

A smile to hide tears

A laugh to hide screams

A "I'm fine" to hide "I'm dying"

You cut to make the pain go away

But it's never only one

People ask you if your alright, you reply with "I'm okay"

A cut to make the words fade

A cut to make the looks disapade

A cut to make the pain slowly go away

You know a few cuts are not enough

The scars are already forming

Running your fingers over them they are rough

They say cutting isn't good, you say it's tormenting

A scar to show the battles fought

A scar to show we survived

A scar to show the pain we went up with before finally giving up
