SCARS

I try to be calm and beautiful

But I am full of fear and  angry

All these emotions trying to hang me

I could use one word to describe

But instead I use five

Never  able to say enough

The words I use don't heal 

Instead they reveal pain

And they're poisonous to witness

So people mind their own business

Certain words just aren't nourishing

And are far from encouraging

Rage searching for release

Can I have some closure please

Or at least a reprieve from these scars...
