My Scar , My Life

Mine is but a sad tale
             Cut off and rendered pale 
             Taken down for better things 
             But important , indeed I am
    
             Few are we who stand still 
             Fewer are we who hope to stand 
             And fewest of all, 
             I am.

             Extinct and gone,
             My fate shall not be  
             To face destruction, I shall rise 
              Armed with experience, I will not falter.
              And so, Alive ! I long to be.
