Every piece of you
Fits in every piece of me
In a perfect way

Hate
Creates darkness
Within the heart
Killing the soul like
Poison

The music fades
quiet notes still
linger in my heart
Thoughts drift
of possibilities
longed for,
but lost

Carry your scars
with pride, not shame.

What are scars,
but proof you’ve
survived your wounds,
for wounds
carry no scars,
only blood.

What are scars,
but gold stars for
lessons presented
and conquered.

What are scars,
but evidence you’ve
overcome life’s
most difficult obstacles.

What are scars,
but proof of
your success,
leaving you
not broken
but wiser.
