He'd come back changed One might say he was broken He knew better True he had his scars And they covered him quite well And perhaps he wasn't completely whole
But he was not broken
His scars were proof of that.
Scars, emotional or otherwise, are proof that a person survived. That they healed at least somewhat. They don't define a person or prevent them from moving on. They're a statement, they say yes I have felt pain, but I'm still here.
