Lets compare scars

by Krissey   Jun 24, 2006


Please don't ask me to compare scars
I won't do it even if you go first
Because without sounding conceited my friend
Your scars will be much worse..........

I look at the other teenagers of this uncontrolled world
I see their emotional and physical scars
They're living in such a subdued cloud
And make me feel I'm living under the beaming stars

You see, I don't go out and party,
On Weekends I've never gotten drunk,
And I don't have a compact meth lab
Hidden in the back of my trunk

When everyone else got high on Fridays
I was home studying for Mondays exam
I got the rest and relaxation I knew I would need
While Jessica lost her virginity it the back of a Dodge Ram

No one believes in God these days,
Agnostic's now the way to go.
If only they knew and loved the Lord,
They might not feel as low.

Please don't talk about past tragedies
My stories aren't long enough to fit in a can
Because I have lived my life right so far
Living problem-free is so far my plan

I live for my Lord high in heaven
I know he's watching me each day,
I ask him to look at the people of the world
And perhaps wash their scars away

Because then maybe we can all come together
And people will want to live their life right
Maybe think a little open-mindedly
On what they want to do on a Friday night

Go out and see a movie,
Or shoot some pool with friends.
Just stay away from tempting regrets,
Before something terrible transcends

And when you do just that in free time
Look down on your body and you'll see
The scars will slowly fade away
And you'll say, "The person in the mirror can't be me"

Please come back and tell me if I was right
Tell me if your scars will be gone
Because if you live your life on the right road
You'll know the words I speak are not wrongPlease don't ask me to compare scars
I won't do it even if you go first
Because without sounding conceited my friend
Your scars will be much worse………………

    Why's it written twice?

    This is very powerful, as a piece. Yes, your Christianity shines through. There are some that follow the same path as you, though, and still end up with scars.. Believe me.. However, I really really liked the message conveyed, and love the use of some of your words, as a way of showing that people have choices, and how they choose to use them is entirely up to them, but not to complain if their lives end up awry.. Very well done. xx
