Scars and Soul

My scars will be here forever, but I won’t let them affect me. They are a part of my beauty, my soul. Sometimes I resent them. But they remind me of the fear I have faced and overcome in the years I have lived. At times I wonder what life would be like, if my path had been different… But then I know I wouldn’t be who I am today. You can love me for my face, for my features, but that is not love at all. I’d rather you love me for my soul and the things I have done and will do in this life. A heart can be cold, but mine never is. And I hope it never will be.
