The flood was finally over. Everything was back to normal. The police had stopped searching for me, and it seemed like my friends forgot about the incident. I'm honestly thankful for that. The school was open again, only after a few weeks of repair, and most of the water was dried up. There were still puddles everywhere, and most lakes, ponds, rivers, and ditches were overflowing with water, but we had the opportunity to walk around again and do normal day-to-day activities.
A lot of kids from school were telling stories, which were obviously lies. They typically fell along the lines of, "I jumped out of a window to save someone," or, "So-and-so died during the flood". It was stated that everyone was okay, so I can say with confidence that nobody died. Most kids at this school wouldn't dare leave the safety of their house to save someone, no matter the situation, so I can debunk that as well.
It was music class, and we were assigned to write a song and preform it. I already had a few ideas, since I wrote songs when I was bored. I'm not sure if any would work though, since I didn't have time to write songs. They were pretty old songs, and my song writing has improved over the years. "(Y/n), could you come here for a moment?" Mrs. Rox asked.
"Sure" I said, walking up to her desk.
"Would you play a song for us? Maybe to inspire the other students for the project." Mrs. Rox questioned.
"I would love to! Does the song matter?" I asked.
"Just play whatever" Mrs. Rox said. I nodded, and pulled my guitar in front of me. I sat on my desk, strumming my guitar. "Alright class, I have asked (Y/n) to play a song for us, which will hopefully inspire you!" Mrs. Rox exclaimed. All eyes turned towards me, and I took a deep breath.
"I wrote this song a few years ago, but I hope you guys like it!" I said, a smile making its way across my face. I strummed my guitar a bit more before finally starting the song.
"The wound heals but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
You're at war with love, yeah
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
Never let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruin's wooing me
Arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been trying to keep your nods up and you know that you should know
And let her go but the fear of the unknown
Holding another lover strong sends you back into the zone
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter on the frontline with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
And just leave then
You shouldn't have but you said it
And I hope you never come back
It shouldn't have happened but you let it
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Shields, body armors and vests
Don't properly work, that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
The best medicine is to probably just let her win
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
Cause you've set me on fire
I've never felt so alive, yeah
Hoping wounds heal, but it never does
That's because you're at war with love
And I'm at the point of breaking
And it's impossible to shake it
See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
Hope it heals, but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love!
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle"
I sang, my heart spilling on each word. A secret of mine is each song that I write is about a personal experience. I was once in a toxic relationship, and I wrote this song to help myself keep going. This song honestly meant a lot to me. I've been through a lot, and I'm still here, and I'm glad that I get to say that.
Song used
Battle Scars by Lupe Fiasco and Guy Sebastian
