THE SCARS IN MY HEART

"Why do I care and keep
Asking, 'why?'
When the answer's the same--
I hurt, then I cry.
I hold so much love, I could
Fill every heart.
But there are no receivers;
They want no part.

"A lifetime of lessons--
The trauma, the pain,
Have opened my eyes--so
Much knowledge to gain.
This beauty surrounds me
And leaves me in awe;
But the scars in my heart
Result in a flaw."
