Battle Scars

Her skin is scarred up and down, left to right
The blood stains the inside of her clothes
Everywhere she goes she's in pain
She cuts everywhere she goes
But she doesn't cut to die
She cuts to stay alive
The monsters in her head are trying to kill her
When she fights back, the cuts get worse
The scars stay forever
Scars from years ago cover her body
But they're not just scars
They are her battle scars
In the battle she fights everyday against herself
Against the monsters in her head
That she can never win but can always loose
She looses when she dies
When her heart stops beating
They're not just her scars and cuts
They represent the battle she's fighting
She's fighting against her own mind
They are her battle scars
