Scars are wounds that never heal.

Both in mind and body.

They are all too real.

The scars that define somebody.

The grooves and bulging veins of a burn.

The jagged stich pattern of a knife.

The craters speckling the skin from shrapnel and bullets.

The scars you may gather through life.

The screams that never leave.

Ghosts of a searing pain.

The many wounds that your body weaves.

Like a map full of stories you have sustained.
