Scars

She'd sometimes sit,
in her room all alone;
she couldn't understand,
why all her hopes were gone.

She felt so weak,
but she looked so well;
her heart was breaking,
but no one could tell.

No one would understand,
the pain she felt inside,
so she kept it to herself,
as if she had to hide.

The things she did,
to take away the pain of her life,
would surprise them all,
one scar at a time.

She was broken,
and afraid that she could never be fixed;
she was terrified,
of what would happen next.

She fell asleep,
so late one night,
and realized she couldn't give up hope,
that everything could be alright.

She couldn't give in,
to her loss and her fear,
so she'd fight to stay strong,
through the endless tears.

When she woke up,
so late one day,
it's like she realized everything;
God would make a way.

Her scars are still present,
and in them she can see,
the story of her past,
and how different her future can be.
