THESE SCARS OF MINE

As I caress these scars of mine
I hope that you're feeling fine
You shot me through my heart
But I didn't easily fall apart

When you pushed me and I fell
You thought I had gone to hell
But I somehow conquered gravity
And flew to heights of ecstasy

I let go of all the pain and hate
I surrendered to life and fate
I forgive you for all you said
How you wished to see me dead

I'm now totally at peace
I can go through life with ease
I've learnt to forgive my enemies
I've stopped my killing sprees

I was partially guilty, too
I shouldn't have neglected you
But let's leave the bad in the past
And have a truce that can last

I'm done killing myself constantly
I'm done harming myself perpetually
I'm done crying myself to sleep
I'm done watching my loved ones weep

And I'll wear these scars with joy
But don't think it's part of a sick ploy
I wanna remember from whence I came
So I don't go back to being the same
