Scarred Past

Scarred with the pain
of a dismal, dark past,
destroyed by the shadow
my life has cast

Quietly in pain,
I show no one the tears,
I show no one inside,
I show no one my fears

The mistakes I have made
I can never take back,
I am prisoned in life,
for strength and courage I lack

The pain inside
can never be measured
by any physical means
that I have ever endeavored

I am sorry I'm here,
I am sorry I exist,
I am sorry I can not vanish
into the darkening mist

Keep it inside,
show no one you're weak,
trust will be broken,
further shattered and meek

Keep the tear from falling
onto the dry ground
it does no good to show
how emotionally you're bound

Alone I'll stay in my darkness,
no dreams, just stay numb,
engulfed in the pain
to which you have succumbed
