Inflicted

Scars upon scars
I used to believe in the stars.
I even learned to play guitars
Buts stepdad's been put behind bars.

The crimes he committed
He has even admitted.
He never submitted 
I feel it's counterfeited.

And the invisible wounds inflicted
I'm oh so addicted.
This was never predicted
My heart is restricted.

It's 4am I'm trying to deal
But I can't handle the way I feel.
I'm torn at the seams
Lost in bad dreams.

There's silver blades
It's even affected my grades.
They're words are thrown grenades
I guess I'm renegade.

Inflicted are my cuts
I'm stuck in these ruts.
I'm such a klutz
I don't have the guts.
