Jagged Scar
The lies are told and leave her bare
She’s quiet but not still
A chain forced through a hollow heart
a chain broke iron will.
A rocking body lay disowned,
And stores the pain within
With bruises, blood, and salty tears
Unnoticed on her skin.
A pale, unearthly, jagged scar
To those who look, unseen.
All held inside and kept away
By one not yet eighteen.
And tell me why she even tried
Resolve had burned and bled
Her heart was young, and so was she
And now she’s simply dead.
