Invisible wounds

You may see the bruises, cuts and scars
But the wounds that remain
Are pounded into my heart
Everyday I wake up
I see a physical reminder of that day
But the emotional terror
Is what continues to remain
The scars are vanishing
I am trying to heal
But no one will truly understand
The pain that I feel
Treat me with love
Treat me with care
My life is fragile, vulnerable
And I am scared

back to today
