Battle Scars

Inside my lies

All I show is I’m fine

They didn’t see them

All the lines drawn in

Battle scars

They decorate my arms

A secret fight

I never wanted in the light

It’s not about them

Or even their words

It’s about me

And how I’m not my perfect girl

Skinny, pretty or fit

This is all I feel helps it

Battle scars

Decorating my arms

Words mean so little and so much

I don’t believe the word love

Happy has just become a lie

And you’ve become fine with goodbye

Battle scars 

Have filled these arms

The blade shines in invitation

All it takes is one motion

Red and flowing

I can do this without you knowing

Battle scars

On more than just my arms

Battle scars

They decorate my arms

A secret fight

I never wanted in the light
