mistakes that were made, promises made and broken
love with time, wings that were bent and broken
unstable and hurt, yet sustained and endured
secrets that were kept, some said and shared
the ones hidden away, slowly are revealed
scars and bruises that hid a meaning, those are shared
the bruises that didn't leave visible scars
they left one hidden deep inside
bruise that of my father, and of my mother
they leave a scar, that on my heart
a child left in the dark, like a demon
she clawed her way into the light
just to be smacked away, back in the dark
left there to die, someone brought forth their hand
to guide back the child, to the light once again
