Scars and Wounds
SCARS AND WOUNDS
Scars and wounds embedded externally and internally
Over my body and throughout my soul
Authenticating me into my natural being
Causing so much pain and pleasure
As I look into this reflection in the mirror
Its the transformation of this person I am visually seeing
Scars and wounds
Its the gain from the pain
Its the pleasure causing great deals of measure
I could be licking my wounds wearing them proudly as badges, my stripes of honor
To remind and motivate me on futher away from this life I left behind me
Or I can continue to bleed staying stagnant in my past
Which vainly amounts to nothing and I will never last
I’ll just be repeeling the scabs to relive and resurface the bloody trauma of the pain I once had
Continuously reflecting leaving me in my mess, feeling depressed
Or I can just move on ahead and considerate as one of life experienced tests
Nevertheless Im grateful to remain sane, living and blessed
Im leaving it all up to “GOD” to handle the rest
SCARS AND WOUNDS
