Deep enough to scar

Paula Mayabb

I sit and write
Words come and go
But no matter how much i write
I just cant let go

I hold my anger
Deep inside
Cant stand it anymore
I just want to cry

In my head
I run and hide
My feelings chase me
Down the slide

I slide into my thoughts
Which is worst than feelings
Jumped off the pain train
Onto the talking ceiling

It tells me to forgive and move on
Its better for me
But my heart wont let me
You hurt me deep
Deep enough to scar
Its gonna take a lot more
To move on
