Beneath Scars Lies Strength

Beneath Scars Lies Strength

A Poem by Krista Gallant

Regretting actions performed of days gone past

Overrun by disappointment given the chance

Dwelling pain which seems to carelessly last

Can be eradicated using inner strength to lance

 

Time to accept responsibility for your life and shine

Anyone can face challenges encountered with stride

Happiness cannot be traveled on a highway without incline

But can be reached on the freeway of desire and drive

 

Do not shy away from succeeding at achieving peace

Accept and look beyond life’s imperfections accrued

Conquer your fear of failure and learn how to release

Be present and worship the value of the real beauty in you

 

Capable you are in eliminating breakdowns and self doubt

Be confident by sustaining your most attractive qualities

Life is too short to not live it and love to rare to not reach out

Strive on by keeping only the sweet and cherished memories

 

There are things you cannot recover once time has faded

The WORD after it’s said, the MOMENT after it’s missed

Each and every soul should be celebrated and not tolerated

Let it shine bright your hidden light and revel in graceful bliss
