Alright

These words are hard to say,
I’ve been thinking about them all day.
It’s hard to tell you what’s inside,
I don’t want you to know the pain I hide.

You see those scars, they weren’t always there.
I remember a time when they were bare.
I remember a time I used to close my eyes,
when I tried to think of all my goodbyes.

I closed my eyes,
I tried to think of a better day,
another say,
not another girl who lost her way.

I’m sorry I couldn’t ignore,
I’m sorry my arms are scars galore.
You look at me, not surprised at all.
You hold me tight, and tell me everything will be alright.
