Tee-shirts
I can remember
when these cuts ran red
but now they are fading
it's been long since they bled
Tiny white lines
etched in my skin
only I see them now
echoes of when
The cold crushing weight
of the world broke in me
and I carved out my heart
on my arm to be free
But it trapped me instead
in a iron cell
as I cried for release
from my self-built hell
Now I thought it was finished
but heart scars don't heal
so I'm coming full circle
and it's all back I feel
My memories warn me
this all has to stop
I'm preparing to try
more then ever I've fought
I guess this war isn't over
I only pray that I'll win
but at least I can wear
tee-shirts again
