Reflection of Scars


The picking of a future scar
Reflecting skills not up to par
A blemish one can readily hide
Though truth in heart will still reside

Scars

Like pain onto a runners side
with every step ones stomach churn
Insane with thoughts of enthocide
Ones heart forgets to yearn

Try to hide

Will you shade my light from growth?
Resume as sheltered skin?
pigment raw from flesh unseen
craving for any a kin

Try to heal

Unveil the wonders behind the door of glass
Depression from perfection must be flaccid
Praying open, open, open but alas
Such a door has not been crafted

Try to accept

Acceptance leads to surrendering and surrendering leads to grace...

A poem that was worthy of a second read!

Warm hugs,

Ugh, Scars, past memories stuck, but sometimes, as weird as this sounds, sometimes, they are good memories!
