What do I owe you?

heartbones20


Notice of absence from heartbones20
Sry kinda busy...Promise will be back real soon- Duty calls :>

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.

      Hello, this is a great piece of work. I'm not sure but I feel it might have been written through a lot of pain, maybe not, either way it's really good.
