Scars

My darling, your scars have always been beautiful They tell a story and it's all your own Each one is a part of you And while they may not hurt so much anymore No one said the pain would go away And if no one can see your scars, my darling If they are only visible to those you trust most If they're the kind of scars that change how you think They still tell a story, and it's all your own If your scars bring back trauma From the person who gave them They tell a story of bravery, you found your way out You're free now, you're safer, my darling And I want to hear your story If you have the courage and if you have the strength I want to know all about your scars Those you can point to, and those you can not And trust me when I say Things really will be okay So, tell me your story, show me your scars The ones you can point to and the ones we can't see I can't wait to hear everything you tell me I want to understand your story, your scars So take a deep breath, I'm sitting right here And whenever you're ready You can show me your scars.
