.

The scars and bruises-

They haunt you

They remind you of darkness

A darkness where you lost yourself.

These battles you fight with yourself each day. 

No one can hate you more…

More than you hate yourself 

And they ask…

What happened to the light inside of you?

Where did the smile fade?

How do you tell them,

You made me insecure.

Made me feel I was nothing but dirt.

Made me feel I was nothing but a burden. 

I was happy

But you couldn't see me happy

You wanted to see my fall

You wanted to see the ground crumble under these two feet of mine. 

You hated the smile on my face. 

And now you ask where the smile went well…

The smile drowned in despair

The light was engulfed by darkness

Tears are what are left of the laughs

I've lost myself. 

You made me loose myself.

Hope you're happy now.
