Scars

The scars protrude
Agreeing in unison
Stepping forward
Parading as
Substantial proof
Evidence

The scars protrude
Serving its purpose
As a milestone marking
Down the threshold
Of agony
Inflicted

The scars protrude
Scream they do
Display of power
I claim my rights
For justice and vengeance
It spits at you

The scars protrude
As they march down
This aisle
It shall be cleansed
Free of shame
The weight
You loaded upon
Me
