Bruises

I got bruises on my hands and knees
On my neck and on my arms
In my head and in my heart
The pain I feel is here

Bruises all over me
invisible but there
How can I control them
Make them stop

The pain it hurts
It makes me rot
Look at me I feel hurt
Stare at me I look normal

I got bruises on my hands and knees
past my brain making me not sane
In my chest past my breasts
In My heart past my soul

The bruises tell me the mistakes i've made
all over my body it tells me i'm a failure that i should fade
bruises come and go I half expect these to not really show
I caused them they make me feel what i believe is real

These bruises are not for you to view
These bruises are for me to feel
I can understand why you don't think it's real
I can understand why I want them to heal

This is just another mistake I will never regret
