Scars

Memories will never fade

The pain endured will always stay

Despair

Loneliness

Not held at bay

Scars adorn

Pale thin skin

A constant reminder

Of what could have been

Like a patchwork quilt

Always on display

Growing stronger day by day

Inner demons run away

Disappear without a trace

Strongholds crumble

All that’s left

Are the scars that grace her wrists
