Battle scars

Every pain I endure is untold 

My tears that can fill the Nile rivers 

My heart that’s warms Antarctic

perhaps, every bravery I have resembles the lion king

I can’t contain my emotions 

I used to be little girl with lost voice

Who couldn’t enjoy the pleasure of this world 

Whom was focus on the rotten parts  

Nor have I glimpsed at the autumn trees 

Every blessing is bestowed upon on me 

Indeed, countless blessings! 

I was the lost one who couldn’t witness bees conceiving the honey 

Nor seen the wind howling at night 

Truth is unhidden but seen

Thus world can give you heartaches 

But only if you concede 

Every tears I shed is never heard 

Battles scars is with me 

Fighting my battles scars was journey 

Together we can feel worthy! 

I had sleepless nights about the future 

Reminiscing my past in the shower

Battle scars is what I see in the mirror

Flashbacks occurred to my past with my heart racing 

Memories ! memorize is what I see vividly 

Waking up with pool of sweat, yet untouched with reality 

Oh my, these battles scars are hard to face

Battles scars is with me
