Naked Scars

I look so perfect and intact
But honestly I'm dying inside
I'm so broken I just want to give up
I'm so tired of trying anymore and honestly I regret all of it
I regret everything I've done
I feel it coming for me
I feel the hot tears threatening to spill
I feel myself floating away
I don't wanna feel anymore
I just look at every piece breaking off me
The pieces no one can see but me
I keep it in for no one else to know
I can't let it out
I know it will hurt
I know I wouldn't stop the tears if they started
So I continue to walk with a smile
I continue with my head high
Even though I just want to give up
I don't want to care anymore
I don't want to feel this pain
But I do, I feel it seeping into my skin
It's deep within me
It's who I am
Oh these naked scars
