A Scar is Born

A Scar Is Born

Like any wound,

A broken heart,

Scabs and scars.

 

Like any wound,

Scabs are a sign,

Of pain,

Of labour,

Of healing.

 

Sooner or later,

Given care,

Given light,

Given air,

Scabs fall away,

A scar is born.

 

Like any wound,

Scars are a badge,

A sign you have tasted life,

And survived to tell the tale

 

Let your scabs heal you,

Let them fall away,

Show your new skin,

You are alive.
