Damaged

[Verse 1] I open up Pour my heart out to you About the things that I've been through But you dismiss it all Call it fabrication Because I can't meet your gaze It's an invalidation [Verse 2] I share my story of a classmate's pain Witnessing the abuse Feeling the strain But you brush it off Say it's all in my head Because I can't look you in the eyes My truth is unread [Verse 3] I bear the marks of a struggle unseen A silent cry for help An unspoken plea Finally You notice the bruise on my arm But it's too late The damage has already caused harm [Chorus] Invisible scars They run so deep Through the darkness I silently weep But I won't let them define who I am I'll rise above [Verse 4] Tangled webs of darkness Hidden away Invisible scars that won't fade to gray Witnessed the pain The unspeakable acts Lurking in the shadows The horrors intact The scars I bear They're etched in my soul
