Scars
Big or small
They tell a story
On someone short or tall
It's something about glory
Or how they had to crawl
Some people look away
Some people look in disbelief
Some forget that day
Others live in grief
Wounds to heal
Days to forget
Times to kneel
No time to sweat
They may never share
Of that tragic day
Or they may not even care
About what you have to say
We give them space
We look to the stars
We don't look at their face
We just leave them with their scars
