Roses Poetry Book - 2. Chapter 2: Scars

I'm not too sure about this one, but in a way it intertwines with Listening.
It comes from reading the journal's of my friend. I didn't write this until after Listening though.

The scars on my heart
Can never be healed
Can never be soothed.

They stay
And show the hurt and pain
I have endured.

I hide them
Behind a mask
Made of smiles and laughs.

Can you see these scars?
Can you see the hurt that caused
These unhealed scars?

Can you love away the mask?
Can you care away the facade
That I built with love and happiness?

Can you break this shell I'm in?
Can you help the girl inside
Crying for help?

Can you do all this?
And so much more
With my unhealed scars upon my heart?

I have built this mask,
This facade, this shield,
To stop any more scars from forming.

But this has yet to happen.
I get new scars everyday
With every cruel word said.

The scars on my heart
Can never be healed,
Can never be soothed.

They stay
And show those who look
The pain and sadness I have endured.
