Battle Scars

As you wipe away the traces of the last tear that you cried

Brush aside the cobwebs that have cluttered up your mind

Gaze ahead and dare to dream of better days to come

Don't let the shadows of the past block out your rising sun

Dark things you see in vivid dreams haunt your daylight hours

Ugly things best left unseen by weak hearts such as ours

Battered women never heal, can't seem to forget

Bruises that cannot be concealed etched upon their hearts

Memories will slowly fade, pushed back in the dark

Try hard not to be afraid to make a brand new start

Pick up the pieces of your life, the pieces that are left

Step over what's been broken, and try hard to forget
