Scarred

She was only a child, soul pure as the rain,

You stole her innocence, left her in pain.

Burnt her with cigarettes, on arms so thin

Scarred her to justify your damage within.

You walked away, but the harms still remain.

Decades later, she is still feeling the pain.

Those scars never fade, no matter how hard she tries,

A broken little girl is still trapped inside.

You gave her life but left her dead inside,

She's still fighting every day just to survive.

You burned her down, but she rises from the flames,

Living with your sins, her body bears your shame.

She's grown up but is still chained to the past,

Your lies, your cruelty, they’ll forever last.

You gave up your rights, got to walk away free,

But she still carries the weight, both visible and unseen..

You gave her life but left her dead inside,

She's still fighting every day just to survive.

You burned her down, but she rises from the flames,

Living with your sins, her body bears your shame.

The years go by, but she can’t let go,

Of the issues you caused, the seeds you sowed.

You disappeared, but she is left with the scars,

Just a wounded soul with shattered parts

You gave her life but left her dead inside,

She's still fighting every day just to survive.

You burned her down, but she rises from the flames,

Living with your sins, her body bears your shame.

You’re gone, but so is her self esteem

Confidence in her mind is a pipe dream

Those scars a heavy reminder of your hate

Her mind forever forced to carry the weight.
