Thoughts During a Flight to Oaxaca

I own a heart that has been broken
I own a soul that has been bruised
Some of my feelings remain frozen
All of my fears of being abused

Because sometimes I don't feel human
Sometimes I feel like bones and flesh
Some other times I feel like crying
Some other times like I was dead

I own scars that remain hidden between inches and inches of skin
Scars that taught me that pain can be real
Scars that once I thought they wouldn't heal
Scars that from time to time I have to feel

I have been hurt so many times
And I'll be hurt so many more
You may have seen me fake a smile
But you will never see me fall

Today I'm ready to embrace my sorrow
Because it will be gone by tomorrow
My armor will become softer than cotton
And I will rise up from the bottom.
