We are all made up of scars
hidden beneath the surface
in the depths of our souls.
We hide them away to make people stay.
We think if they saw them,
they would look the other way.
But the truth is
our scars are part of us
like it or not.
They are there to remind us
of all our lessons learned and fought.
Without them,
we would not be who we are.
Because life is never easy,
nothing stays the same.
So embrace your scars
don't be afraid to be seen.
We all have ugly parts,
even though that is hard to admit.
To hell
back and out the other side,
our scars remind us
life is not an easy ride.
