Mapped out scars on weathered skin, like journaled stories etched upon the surface. Some stay hidden, top secret, for your eyes only locked up deep within. Each blemish a memorial to battles fought, lost and won, as history was written in flesh, blood, and bone.
I began writing this poem at 02:12 because I could not sleep. Timmy the cat and his ****** mittens somehow inspired me to write this as I tend to a scratch I fell foul to when playing with Mr wiggles (a cat toy) yesterday.
