Deep and painful
Or shallow and true
Scars are the things
That show the real you
They tell the stories you cannot
Of the times long forgot
Imprinted to you soul
Like to your skin
A constant reminder of what has been
Stitched together
By the hands you trust
Held together only just
An everlasting memory
For only you
No one else understands them
And this is your gift
You have your stories
These scars help you lift
