Battle Scars

The mind wins
The battle as old as life
The scars unseen

The voice is steady
The smile in place
As bright as it's been

Work gets done
Life goes on
Just as always 

People just see
What's shown to them
On that smiling face

The eyes gleam
Tears hardened
To a shining spark

Crowd turns to look
As she walks on
Life's chosen path

‐------------------------------------

The heart beaks
Into a million pieces
Without a sound

Not a scar to be seen
Not a scream
Not a single frown

The mind wins
The eyes dry
No tears cried

The heart dies
Loveless
Slowly inside.....
