IF ONLY SCARS HEALED

I’m not ashamed of the scars life has left me with, they simple mean that
 I’m stronger than whatever tried to hurt me
They are not just scars, they are a reminder of a war I won
These are not just scars, they give me hope and tell me that I will
Pass these terrible times just like how I did before
These are not just scars, they are a reminder of me in the Army and all our struggles as a 
Battalion trying to protect this country
If only scars healed maybe I might forget everything and live peaceful with not thinking of all 
The bloodshed and all the friends I lost during war

If only scars really healed maybe I might be in a paradise and not whining over the loved 
Ones I lost and never buried because I was busy Fighting for my country,
Maybe I should just tell all these sad stories to my parents,
 Oh wait I forgot I lost them 
And I wasn’t at their funeral 
The emotional scars of our mistakes will teach us far more than the joy of our success
Maybe my parents are one of the loved ones I never buried due to being at war

These are not just scars, they tell me that I might have won the war for my country but
I lost everything that was mine in that process 
I hope that my body can be without blemish so that I can have peaceful sleep with 
No nightmares
If only scars healed maybe I might just forget the trauma of the WAR and focus on bettering my life
