Do you see that pain?
The scars left behind,
the one so big that no one can bind?
It'll mend, they say. Give it time.
But don't you realize,
these wounds aren't meant to heal,
they're meant to remind.
It's the point of it all,
you let your pain swallow you whole,
then wallow in pain until you can't do it anymore.
Wear them with pride,
a badge that shines against the light,
that defines all that is you.
Don't bow down to the demons.
Don't allow them to feast on your flesh.
Swallow them whole
because you were born to soar.
