Tears Like Scars

[Bry89]

Why are you crying
Like there's something wrong?
Emotion, you can't control
It's been like this
For far too long

Now there exists these marks
Down each side of your face
Tears like scars
Representing
These decades of pain

You tried to hold it back
You tried to control yourself
But you have failed
And this what you get
It's too late to turn things round
It'll stay with you forever
A wretched soul of sadness
A broken image of self-hate and regret

Tears like scars
Burn and wound your delicate skin
Anger and sadness
It recreates and wastes away
Silently from within
