What do I owe you?

What do I owe you, my past?

For the scars that I wear on my skin,

For the memories that will always last,

For the pain that\'s buried deep within.

 

What do I owe you, my childhood?

For the trauma that I still endure,

For the fear that once felt so good,

For the innocence that was impure.

 

What do I owe you, my sorrow?

For the tears that still stain my cheeks,

For the wounds that will never be hollow,

For the nights when I couldn\'t speak.

 

What do I owe you, my pain?

For the memories that haunt me so,

For the fear that I\'ll never be sane,

For the things that no one should know.

 

What do I owe you, my scars?

For the reminders that won\'t go away,

For the times when I saw stars,

For the nights when I couldn\'t pray.

 

What do I owe you, my trauma?

For the way you\'ve changed who I am,

For the way you\'ve stolen my karma,

For the life that I\'ll never cram.

 

What do I owe you, my self?

For the way you\'ve fought through the dark,

For the way you\'ve stood up to hell,

For the way you\'ve left your mark.

 

What do I owe you, my future?

For the hope that still burns bright,

For the way you\'ll be my suture,

For the way you\'ll make it right.

 

What do I owe you, my all?

For the person that I\'ve become,

For the way I\'ll stand tall,

For the way I\'ll overcome.
