Many kinds of scars <br />Many ways to get them <br />They show I was hurting <br />Reminders of the suffering <br /> <br />The physical scars that you can see <br />And the psycho ones you can't <br />The mental and emotional <br />Scars I try to hide <br /> <br />I feel them everywhere <br />And in everything <br />Echos from my dark past <br />I would rather forget <br /> <br />The things I had to go through <br />To get all of these marks <br />Scars come from injuries <br />The deep, excruciating kinds <br /> <br />But though I hate the memories <br />I have to thank my scars <br />All of them for staying <br />As they fade I can forgive <br /> <br />My scars are not just cruel reminders <br />Of the pain I have endured <br />They truly bear grand witness <br />To my ability to heal<br /><br />Juvela Obi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scars-23/
