"Maybe The Scars Have Meanings "

Maybe the scars have
Meanings-
Not pain,
But proof.

Each mark is a map
Of what tried you
And failed.

Runes of survival 
Lit by Oldumare 's breath.

Pain fades
Truth stays
Every scar says:

Still here

I think of scars as imprints of memories that happened whether I want to forget them or not.
