What you don't know that you are loved
What you don't know is the feeling of joy
What you don't know is the feeling of excitement
Walking down the stage with a diploma in your hands
Walking down the aisle saying 'I do'
Grasping a beautiful infant that you call yours
This little child who watches you
Who sees you as superhero
Embracing the person you love
What you don't know is the peacefulness
Seeing your grandchildren
Winter is setting in, Christmas has arrived
Watching them open the presents
You whispering "I made it"
Deep within you see yourself as is
Alone in your room
Scars of your past
Carved on your arm as a display case
That you mask with emotions
In secrecy hoping someone would notice
Just so you won't have to feel alone anymore
Waking up crying not because the dream was a nightmare
Because nightmare is your reality
But what you should know is your future is untold
Your scars tell your story
