Scars,
scarred
everywhere
and not a strain put unaware.
I just thought it wasn't fair
to inflame inside
when you tried to care.

Bandages not big enough
to cover up
the infectious pus.
It never stops to rage inside
and I took the pills,
you know, really tried.

My skin cannot
protect itself.
& so I'm scarred,
not from an obvious injury
or something I inflicted upon myself.

No, I'm just damaged
and there's nothing I could have
done or not done.
It was never meant for me to be
perfect, pure
and an undefiled somebody.

I just thought it wasn't fair
to inflame inside and outside
when you tried to care.
