Scarred

Covering your pain with bravado Haunted by shadows of the past Previous disappointments decorate the walls you have constructed

 Clinging to shallow waters Paralyzed by the fear of drowning Swimming in nothingness Afraid to feel something Running from anything real

 Cause you find it hard to separate the real from the facade The genuine from the artificial Viewing emotion as a potent poison You find the remedy in indifference
