Don't try to hide your scars.
They are the signatures of your life.
They speak a secret language
that reveals who you are to yourself.
No one else can ever have them.
Only you can know what they mean.
Wear them with a lover's pride.
It doesn't matter how you got them,
only that you have them.
They are secrets you whisper
into your own ears.
Listen to them closely.
As a wise man once said:
"A scar is what happens
when the word is made flesh."
