Emotional Damage

Emotion

Emotional damage, a wound so deep

It cuts right through the soul, it makes you weep

It's not a physical scar that you can see

It's hidden deep within, a part of me

A pain that lingers, it never fades

It's with me always, it's a heavy weight

It's a burden I carry, a cross to bear

It's a constant battle, one I'm never spared

It's the memories that haunt, the words that sting

It's the love that's lost, the trust that's been betrayed

It's the heartache that lingers, the tears that fall

It's the emptiness inside, the longing for it all

It's the brokenness that lingers, the wounds that never heal

It's the fear that grips, the doubts that conceal

It's the constant questioning, the self-blame and shame

It's the feeling of worthlessness, the never-ending pain

But even in the darkness, there's a glimmer of hope

A chance to heal, to find a way to cope

To learn to love again, to trust and to forgive

To find the strength to move on, to truly live

Emotional damage, a wound so deep

But it doesn't have to define me, I have the power to heal

To find my way forward, to rise above

To love myself fully, to find true love

It's a journey that's hard, but it's worth the fight

To heal the wounds and make everything right

To find peace within, to let go of the pain

To live a life of joy, to love again
