Scars are left behind
Abandoned by cowards
Some left for the mind
But always by cowards
Scars make a man
Broken by a shame
Scars scare a woman
Believing in the shame
Scars craft lives
Lives cowards mould
Rarely using knives
Words a better mould
My scars are mine
Some gifted to myself
Reminders of my crime
The coward to myself
Scars keep me humble
My skins always covered
Egos slowly crumble
Forever, always covered.
Scars - a poem written for all those who have physical, emotional or spiritual scars they carry and hide. I can't tell anyone not to hide their scars. I can't help you get courage from them.
I do want us to understand that we all carry them.
