Analysis of Scars
Scars inside hurt worse than those out.
Racing through his mind making him shout.
Constantly fighting the strong desire to end it all.
Taking the cheap way off a cliff with an easy fall.
Lover says she will help him through.
But, he does not know what to do.
For a while the bottle was his friend.
But, when he stopped it all came again.
Peace always eluding his troubled mind.
A way to stop the madness never will he find.
The price of freedom he has duly paid.
A price he will always pay until his dying day.
