"Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud" - Maya Angelou


The deepest scars

Go deeper than skin

And they hurt much more

Since they’re buried within


They come from words

The ones filled with hate

They fall on you hard

Like the heaviest weight


They come from those people

The ones who aren’t right

They spit horrible things

Cruel words that kill your light


You try to run and hide

To protect your wounded heart

But these words always find you

And always tear you apart


The deepest scars

Make you as cold as ice

Make you hate much more

And become anything but nice


You try to fight

But this never works

You are no match

For the evil that lurks

 

It beats you down

When you try to attack

While the ice inside

Always holds you back


The deepest scars

Cause so much pain

They change your heart

And become your bane


No one will listen

When you call out and plead

They ignore all your cries

While you sit there and bleed


You can’t seem to escape

No matter how fast you run

And these buried scars

Make you come undone
