My scars, I have them.
We all have them
We all know what they show
They show what we have been through and done
Some are so light
While some go so deep that they stay their forever.
To most of us, it's like a badge or a mark on us
Showing everyone what we have done and been through
For me, mine goes deep and forever
If my scars can talk, it would sing like a bird
It would tell you what has been done to me
What I have done to get them
Even what I have been through in life
If my scars can speak
It will tell how many places I have been hurt...

Writing for me is much an art as is therapy for me
It's a release from all the pains and all the troubles in my life
It's an escape from reality to world that only I know and no one else
It's writing all the pains that I feel within me
It's telling my story as to how I feel
It's letting all my emotions run raw
It's letting go all my desires in my life
and opening all those wounds and scars that gnaw me

In my life, there are way too many barriers for me
Too many walls for me to climb
Too many barriers that stand in my way
Too many obstacles for me to overcome

My life is already complicated enough with the barriers in front of me
Some are so insurmountable
Some are so high and even so far that they put a notch within me
Some even make me challenge everything that I know and what I know
even complicate my existence as it is.

Some barriers in my life are so hard that they put  a strain on me...

Living it day in day out
living with what I am born with
What I have
Even what I have to face
and even deal with
It's something I have to deal with day in and day out
Everyday, waking up to the same thing
The same face,
The same body
Even the same look
but I deal with it and face it
Cause it's the only one I got
and it's the only one I have to deal with
Everyday is the same thing
Deaf in one ear
Looking younger than the rest
Dealing with that extra X&Y within me
Gender so different that it's not even normal to anyone...
