Scarred

I will not die again, I've crawled out of the fire, Ashes in my veins, But I'm climbing even higher. Torn apart, left for dead, But I stitched myself with pain, Every wound, every thread, Tells the story of my gain. I wear my scars like armor now, They broke me, but I found out, I'm still breathing, still feeling, Every mark is proof I'm healing. Yeah, I'm scarred, but I'm not shattered, Every wound just made me mattered. I'm still standing, still demanding, That my past won’t keep me stranding. I'm scarred, yeah, but I'm alive. You left your knives in my back, But I pulled them out with grace, Turned my wounds to maps of black, And found the way to a batter place. I was lost, sinking deep, But I swam against the tide, Now the ghosts that haunt my sleep Only whisper, their voice denied. I wear my scars like armor now, They broke me, but I found out, I'm still breathing, still feeling, Every mark is proof I'm healing. Yeah, I'm scarred, but I'm not shattered, Every wound just made me mattered. I'm still standing, still demanding, That my past won’t keep me stranding. I'm scarred, yeah, but I'm alive. I won’t hide, I won’t run, This battle’s over, I have won. All my pain, all my chains, They don’t own me, never again. I'm still breathing, still feeling, Every mark is proof I'm healing. Yeah, I'm scarred, but I'm not shattered, Every wound just made me mattered. I'm still standing, still demanding, That my past won’t keep me stranding. I'm scarred, yeah, but I'm alive. I will not die again... No, I will not die again.
