They take away my family
They tear us apart
I try to erase the memories
But can’t erase the marks

They cut me open
And sadly leave me with scars
They left me with the bandages
But took away my soul and heart

My heart is hidden from happiness and pride
But in reality I’m dying inside
Slowly my soul starts getting sicker and sicker
My emotions start to flicker

Feeling agony, pain, and sorrow
Hoping for a better day tomorrow
The words I speak just come to me
Anyone around me disregards my words

My dreams
The only place I can express myself
With no one to judge me
The only place I can be myself
Without hearing my problems
