Behind The Scars
21st Century
(Dedicated to all of those who have suffered abuse)
You wanted me to witness,
who you really are.
You wanted me to validate,
the you behind the scars.
You told your darkest secrets.
You cried the saddest tears.
You begged for me to listen,
of the pain from all those years.
I saw the child within you.
I felt your innocent heart.
I heard you try to tell me,
just to love you from the start.
