Scars

I carry these scars around, they are so heavy
that I long to take them off and set them down.
They are invisible to the naked eye,
thats because they are not outside,
on the inside are where my scars lie.
They never seem to heal
and though they are invisible,
the pain is very real
There's no medicine I can take  
to make them dissapear
I have prayed and prayed,
but I dont think my prayers ever reached God's ears.
I try to pretend that they are not there
and sometimes I'm fooled, into thinking they are gone
but when I'm alone the pain is unbearable,
and I know that my scars won't leave
I will always wear these invisible reminders,
same as I wear my heart on my sleeve.
