Don't look back, just let it be. If you look back at the past, you'll never be happy with your future.

Scars,
I have many.
Scars,
You have few.
Scars,
Mine are from me.
Scars,
Yours aren't fom you.
Scars,
Each with a story.
Scars,
Yours mean nothing.
Scars,
Why do I leave them?
Scars,
Why is it just me?
Scars,
From the knife.
Scars,
From numerous things.
Scars,
Make us different.
Scars,
Make me-me.

I was in a dark place when I wrote this. I used to self-injure so this is basically saying it's who I was and I was ashamed.

&quot;I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who&#039;s left me so many times. I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who won&#039;t answer my call.&quot;
