I made a promise to myself, and now it's been broken. Old habits die hard, especially when unspoken. No one needed to know. Some scars aren't meant to show. I kept it to myself, tucked away but not forgotten, buried beneath the thoughts that a decade ago turned rotten. It was a lie when I made it, though I struggled for it to become reality. I fought for two years, through all the fears and all the tears. I wouldn't let the truth echo through my ears. But the truth doesn't echo, it trickles and oozes. I cut the ties that I kept to it like a blade through meat. I guess some things aren't meant to be beat.
