Scars Tell a Story

Some scars from our childhood are easy to explain
I fell off my bike or I fell climbing the tree in my backyard
Others are from surgery and its harder to open up that subject
Because it can be from a tumor or an aggressive cancer that was life or death
Sometime you have scars on your wrist or neck you definitely try     to avoid
Because at one point you didn’t want to be in this world
There’s emotional scars that were once deep wounds scarring your heart
Hurtful pain that came from losing a loved one or a marriage that didn’t survive
Whether scars were emotional or physical at one point they were fresh wounds that inflicted a lot of pain
Next time be more considerate of scars whether the seen or the unseen
All scars have a story get to know the real story behind the covered pain
