"You can't see my scars. They aren't on my body."*
But maybe you can hear them --
In the words I say, or quite often, don't say.
Or maybe you can catch a glimpse --
In the looks I repress, or quite often, don't repress.
...I'm sorry I can't let you in.
Don't take it personally.
I rarely let anyone in far enough to *see.
The scars aren't completely healed.
They're too painful, too deep.
Why rip the scabs off?
If I do, they may bleed forever.
