Scarred Superstar

From Darkness to Light

By Annie Mae EdwardsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Don't be so blinded by the darkness

that you barely see the stars...

Their light can’t help you navigate

when barely seen from afar.

Love with all you have

while remaining healthily on guard,

for your soul can be destroyed

when that door is left ajar.

But when life sneaks up behind you

and you're left feeling charred...

REMEMBER that there is beauty

to discover within your scars.

The world wants to convince you

that you are merely subpar,

but REMEMBER,

you're the one

who ultimately sets that bar.

Your current circumstances

aren’t meant to trap you where you are.

Don't let them hold you back

when you're meant to go so far.

To discover who you're meant to be

is really not that hard.

Just push through the darkness

and reach for the stars...

because GUESS WHAT?

You’re still here.

And you’ve made it oh so far...

You must REMEMBER

to see your beauty, you

SCARRED SUPERSTAR.
