Scars

Scars

 

Scars each have a story

And some have stories old

Of the days of glory

When younger and more bold

 

They are little reminders

Of times in the past

And are an important history

Of injuries we’ve had

 

The scars in our minds

Truly are the worst

They are there but unapparent

Unseen and unobserved

 

The scars of our bodies

Are questioned quite a lot

Wondering what we were doing

When we injured the spot

 

No matter what the type

All scars are born with pain

And our bodies and our minds

Are never quite the same

          A fine summary of what scars to to the remainder of lives once injury has taken a hold. A needed reminder of the power of scars . Thanks for dealing with this important but rarely touched subject my friend.

            Thanks, my friend. Scars are records of the pain in our lives. Healing occurs, and we survive with a lesson learned.

              The scars within which none see. Cleverly concealed yet weeping regret and remorse continually moulding our personna, often holding us back. Fears hovver, opportunities avoided. Futures marred.

                Thanks, da. The scars within are possibly the worst. With no obvious scar, there is little indication that one has been injured. Sharing with others may help one heal, and the pain is not so bad.

                For good or bad, the scars are goalposts of our lives........

                  Yes, Lorna. Scars tell a story of our lives.
