Battle Scars

People say what we want to hear

so what are we supposed to believe

are we to close our ears and go on in fear?

People do what we think is best for them to do

when in reality its not all that bright but it looks

good in our sight and what is better than to heed

a fight?

Why must we go on as if to show when this is not

what we really know? How will we know who we are

if we can't even show others our battle scars?
