Hide not your scars
They define you, explain you.
Expose your imperfections
With confidence; never hide your scars;
Your soul radiates notwithstanding the scars
Hide not your scars
I see the beauty within you, still.
I see light seeping through all the cracks
On your soul. Don't keep them hidden
Let the world also see. You radiate.
Hide not your scars
I see your true essence.
I see all of you. You're fine just as is.
Come to me, dear. Seek refuge in...
My welcoming heart, imperfect, broken.
Hide not your scars
I see you, not your imperfections.
I accept you. I embrace you.
You're loved, in every way.
You'll always be beautiful, to me.
Hide not your scars
