Stitches to Your Scars

The Ties That Bind

By Angel Angielene JulianPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Scars hurt no matter how small or physically there they are. This has never has been more apparent than today

I'm a prime example with over several of them. Scars happen all over with my last one being in my heart

Not phyiscal, if it were this would never be written..well unless it were posthumously I suppose.

I'm  not the kind of person who you would believe to bedepressed

Of course, you'd imagine people who are covered in tears and cuts. However, it is never that black and white

There are gray areas and that is where I live

From childhood to adulthood, I acquired all my battle scars in many ways

I would play too hard and get bruised or love too hard and get used

I  am normally the girl you see crying from laughing too much. The mask, of course, breaks from time to time

I learned how to keep things inside. It feels easier somehow...but leaves me more empty than anything

My only grounding is my faith

It's the only thing I can count on to be there. I may stumplebutitwillnevercompletelyleave

No matter how many trials I endure...He be will there waiting for me with open arms

So..no matter how many scars I receive he will still stitch me up, this I believe

So scars hurt this is never changing but he is ever amazing.

I am here
