I once walked with this girl on the sand
She had bruises on her neck and scars beyond her hands
When I attempted to feel her pain, she began to run away
Until I tried to speak then realized I had nothing to say
She told me of her life and all she would never be
As we stared through the glimmer of the winding sea
I looked into my reflection and saw all I had to be
For I am the girl with scars beyond her hands
I walk alone, bruise deep into the sand
And as the day faded to gray
I swam into the ocean and never walked away...
