My body is littered with battle scars,
But most are not from any physical battle.
They came from my mental battles,
The battles I fought with myself.
They show that my mind has won a lot,
But I won a lot more.
They show that I had to fight the toughest warriors
Just to live another day.
It showed that while the battles left some damage on me,
I have, more than once, won the toughest battles.
The battles within my own mind,
Wanting me to end me.
But I fought them,
And now I'm still here.
So, while I may have battle scars on my body,
That doesn't mean I'm weak and useless.
It means that, yes I have fallen many times before,
But I have also risen up and defeated the scariest warriors there are.
My mind,
And my thoughts.
