Untitled

another scratch
another scar
only to remind me
just who you are
a perfect place
for release
a quiet space
where I find peace
a dark room
a solitary candle
a picture sits
on my mantle
of a broken family
a broken home
but this is what I've come to know
Some day I know
that this must stop
scars on me
from bottom to top
I'm wasting away
but I'll always know
that dark room
I'll know as my home
