SCARS OF YOUR PAST

 It’s been years and you haven’t stopped scrubbing your body excessively during baths. 

You haven’t stopped holding back all of your heart from those who really want to be a part of your life. 

You haven’t stopped imagining the worse of things and grieving when it’s just you…

It’s been years and memories of the incident wouldn’t leave.

You must have realized you could be 24 and what happened at 4 could still be stuck in your head, the event from when you were 10 would still get your best. 

You could be 24 and never heal until your soul departs from your body.

 You could carry this baggage and burden from that day into your new job, your new home, into the lives of your kids, over and over and over. 

Until you grow old and die, you could carry all the scars into everything that you know.

I am sending hope your way, I hope you heal.

I hope you let your heart break, but pick it up again.

I pray you find your way in a world so insane.

I hope you allow the scars of your past go away.
