The mistakes we’ve made

All those bad choices we chose

All the people we’ve hurt

All the times we’ve been hurt

Everything we don’t want to remember

All in the past

Those are the scars of our past

Some will stay for awhile

Some will fade away

Some will be there forever

All of them a tale to tell

Each one a scar of our past

People will ask about these scars

We will perhaps tell them what caused it

Or we might just not

Cause some scars are meant to be shared

While others are meant to be kept secret

Or shared to only certain company

We all have some

So how many do you have?

All of those scars of our past

Perhaps someday each one will fade

Then we won’t have to see these scars

Which cause us to remember

Those days of our past when we got them

Or so others won’t see them

Since when they do

They ask about how we got them

Asking about every one we have

All about the scars of our past

Perhaps we can mask them

So they won’t always be seen

Or perhaps we can make them disappear

So then forever more

They will never be there

If only that was possible

The truth is that several will always be there

So we must deal with them

Share them with people

So people won’t get the scars we’ve gotten

So show them off to others

Show of those scars of our past
