Scars- Part Two

Look into my hands,
What do they tell you?
Can you decipher? Can you understand
Why they are tinted Black & Blue?

These Hands have fought
Against Life's malicious onslaught
Sailed through the very worst
On Life's savage tempest

Yet for fear of 'breaking character'
Sorrow must be masked with laughter
And pain covered with panache instead
While these Hands silently bleed several shades of red...

Welcome to my heart...
