Did it really matter

Trigger warning — mentions of abuse and death

What's the matter
The scars upon my soul
The way you made me feel
Too much skin on show
What's the matter
The way I cowered in a corner
As I waited for the next punch
The tears I cried as day turns to night
What's the matter
As I begin to fade
And my heart begins to stop
Then people cried as they said goodbye
What’s the matter with who I was
