They saw my scar tonight
The one I've kept hidden under the hair on my face
A curtain pulled back
My mark left by life laid bare
Pain of the past protruding
This tattoo born of trauma
Will remain until my final day it seems
It's been told that after the end..marks vanish
And you are cleaned even on the inside
I hope I am so lucky
This reminder has remained for years now
Cuts that deep stay like bad memories
They are stains on the soul
Saturating me since their birth
I'll admit, it's hard to imagine it gone
Can you fill in chips on the inside?
Is broken glass under set marble stuck as such?
Fractured deep within
They saw my scar tonight
It's nothing compared to the one on the inside
