scars
so damn many scars
that keep getting dripped on
by my relentless tears
forcing my heart to lurch
and keep feeling
so so ugly
deep inside
necessary hell
I keep telling myself
that is all this is
don't fight it
let it roll through you
just breath
and don't let go
of the image
'My Head Is Above Water'
I can swim through the sludge
remember how long
I have wanted this
so it must be me who walks
through all this muck
so to get to the other side
fire is cleansing
we create the pain we feel
no matter how so very badly
I feel broken
my soul whispers to me
you are not
you are strong Melissa
you are a fighter
drawl from your core
the beauty you need
to pin all this ugliness
down
you know the floor isn't so bad
when it's clean, cool and smooth
but getting up from it
will be even better
keep your head clear
you are dragging yourself home
inch by painful inch....................
