I'm scarred.

My hips, my legs, my head.

All a little bruised,

all a little marred.

The cellulite

and stretch marks make my

legs look like lard.

But I know every word,

and every line,

because I have them all

stored up in my mind.

But I don't know if they've reached my heart...

don't know if my soul can play it's part.

And I'd like to play the human card,

but I look around at everyone else -

they look a little different than myself.

With their pretty smiles,

and perfect clothes,

their pretty, picture-perfect lives.

But then I remember -

they're just pretty, picture-perfect lies.

Because everyone's heart's been burned

and charred.

Everyone's been broken.

And everyone's scarred.
