Her arms bare scars
She doesn't want anyone to see
So she wears sleeves
To hide what the cuts have left behind

But the sleeves hide more
Than anyone will realize
It hides the embarrassment she feels inside
And it makes others worry a lot less

The sleeves hide
The pain a cold metal object leaves
Nobody will never realize the pain
Because of a fake smile that seems so real
That is shown upon her face

The sleeves hide
All the painful memories
She has had to experience in life
And nobody will ever realize it

But how can you not realize it
The sleeves never covered
The dullness in her
Eyes that were once so alive-
