I have scars
Mental ones
Physical ones
Scars that will never fade
Scars that remind me of what I've been through
Scars that have made me, moulded me
Scars that have broken me, torn me
But I will never forget
For behind each scar there is a story
There is a battle
Always fought, not always won
I remember every second of every battle
Every pain and torment
The shattered heart of loss and the glorious heart of gain
Those scars are lessons
Lessons, no matter how hard, I keep close to me
For they have made me the person I am today
I don't have everything
I'm not always happy with who I am
But I am grateful for my scars
They have helped me more than anyone else
So I cherish my scars
My beautiful, but ugly battle scars
