I have stretch marks on my soul.
One for every word they never said
Taking a knife, stabbing me instead.
?One for every nightmare that haunted me
Waiting in the dark, can’t you see.
One for every moment I said I was fine
Rehearsing everyday, my most favorite line.
One for every minute I almost lost it
Trying to breathe, please don’t quit.
One for every tear that was shed
Embracing strength, just look ahead.
One for every lie whispered in my ear
Murmuring hope, words insincere.
One for every time I rescued someone else
Screaming inside, rescue myself.
I have stretch marks on my soul
One for every part of me that you stole.
