Scars

On the surface, I bleed like everyone else.

I feel pain, I cry, I get upset.

But my scars... to me.. are my medals of valor.

My scars are my reminder: I lived, I fought, I overcame the odds. 

They are proof that I lived my life fully and without regret.

I wear them proudly; on display for the world to see.

I hope... someday... someone will.. will recognize the scars of a triumphant warrior. 

Or... will my scars ward them away.

It matters not! 

My scars are a part of me, and YOU will have to take me as I am... all of me.

Scars and all. 

The blood, sweat, and tears of a life.. lived to its fullness.
