Scars
“Scars only show us where we have been.
They do not dictate where we are going.”*
They are a timeline of the how and when,
Knowledge of the past they are bestowing.
We cannot run away from who we are.
No matter where we go, we are there.
Whether physical or mental scars,
Our past will follow us everywhere.
Instead, we can let our scars be our guides
And not let them dictate where we go
By making our future what we decide,
And learn from our mistakes as we grow.
*Quote from Criminal Minds
