It took me seven years to realise the words in my mind were too deep for my mouth to dig up I thought it was easier to open my skin and let the truth pour down my arms
It took me seven years to realise nobody should be allowed to touch parts of your home or hold pieces of your heart that you don't yet understand
It took me seven years to realise I will wear these scars forever I'll carry them through every smile every kiss every concerned gaze I'll carry them to my grave
It took me seven years to realise the pain carved into the walls of my castle etchings of attempting to disappear are not a story of weakness but a tale of how I survived
One word It scares most I've always been welcome to it They just are doing a job That has to be done I'm sorry I know it hurts But all things come to an end
Today I tried to run away I did not have success, The road was long, The day too hot, I fear I look a mess. My long hair quite in disarray My clothing, loose and free People cry and point and try to run away from me.
