Loving the scars

Loving the scars

A Poem by Ashes
"

We all bring something from the past with us.

"

The scars never fade
though we grow
learn to cry
love and hate

Past memories
future lives
all mesh on the skin
showing life

Just one more mistake
to add to the collection
we all make

Remember
the past
but make the future
with the scars upon your wrists

Author's Note

Ashes
I keep getting upset at my own scars, and sometimes I just need to remember that they're not all bad.
