Scars

I don’t like who I am
who I’ve become
It’s not me
i know that much
so why am I this way

Why do I cry
Why do I cause pain
so much like my past
Why am I such an ass

I tried to leave it behind
I tried to start anew
But alas, it’s followed

remnants of who I was
who I swore I’d never be again
break through against my better efforts
and leave me broken

crying out, this ain’t me
I’m not like this

but even I don’t listen
