Scars

The remains of my sadness,
are on my skin.
I will always be reminded,
of the memories and secrets I have condemned.

Hopefully no one will see,
the things that I have done,
to myself and to others,
and the anger that I have shone.

Forgiveness is all I ask for,
happiness is what I try to give,
sadness is what I want no more,
hopelessness is all that remains for the wounded.

New hopes replace my hatred,
sadness replace my past dreams,
happiness replace my depression,
confusion replace my screams.

The remains of my sadness,
are on my skin.
I will always be reminded,
of the memories and secrets I have condemned.
