Scars

The scars did not appear from Nowhere. These were developed Over time Over loss Over pain. This scar Came from The laughs The smiles The "jokes." They were not Funny. This scar Came from The fists The screams The tears. They were not Stopping. This scar Came from The shame The fears The guilt. They were not Dying. And the scars Will live As long as They live.
