Beautiful Scars

Story by Alexos Drausus on SoFurry

I don't think anyone should hide who they are.

I've been there, it feels like you're locked behind bars

I'm trying to shrug it off and be me

But once you recede it's hard to break free

Because all they want you to do is submit

And that just makes you feel like shit

Every moment as you look them in the eye

With a practiced fake smile and a smooth worn lie

And they know that they are winning, controlling your life

While you sit there trying to be perfect while dealing with all your strife

But you can't hide forever, I see your scars

But they don't make you ugly, so reach for the stars

You are always beautiful, even without your mask

And I will always try to help you, all you have to do is ask

I watched you fight hard and still you pushed on

Pushing and fighting until you reached a new dawn

Of this person I only saw a glimpse

But I think that is you... a great prince

Because when all has left and all is gone

You will stand up again, no longer a pawn

Never hide who you are or give up on your dreams

You can drift through life on Dragons wings

So I will let it be known

Give me your heart and you'll never be alone
