Scar

spilleronsheet

Something lives inside

continues to stay 

even when we age with time

within us 

maybe protruding in our head

sometimes in some forgotten place

yet,

coming back to us

when in despair

 

 

a childhood trauma

a bully at school

a guilt inside

Less score in high school days

just the nervousness to make in college days

 

a day to ask out 

a day to call our fears

an embarrassment 

or violence that may not have been heard 

 

its a scar that stays with us….

 

 

maybe people say to forget 

maybe we try to forget 

but its not easy like footprints on beach 

instead its the marking on coral reefs

the movement of waves on pebbles around

embarked and leaving its trace abound

 

can you forget those scars ?

keep it hidden forever in heart 

tell it to people around

you had been hurt inside out 

if they tell you to forget 

then its alright 

at least you wont regret 

not telling what made you cry that day…

 

its a scar

apply some medicine

don’t covet it

 don’t let it become bigger than that

 

a pierce

a stab

a cut

a wound

what does it tell us ?

you will heal with those scars around…

 

 

it shall pain sometimes

you might shed tears to deal

but those pains aren’t big, as your dreams

those grief aren’t huge, as your life

or the next moment your going to write

 

in that encompassing write

you shall write many songs

some sad, taking some notes

some learnings, to make  better score

some misadventures you made

but crossed the heart to never make more mistakes

 

don’t fear your scars

confront them

don’t let it burden your heart….

    Good write S.
    Can we 'unlearn' some things? I don't think we can. But I think we can think different or new things - better things..

    • spilleronsheet

      That’s true orchi….new beginnings….

    • Rozina

      Powerful words. Emotional scars, hidden, may be harder to heal. I have seen women in my previous practice who had been abused verbally, emotionally and psychologically and after so many years they were still trying to overcome their pain.

      • spilleronsheet

        That’s very true, dear Rozina….physical scars may fade but those emotional ones are too deep seated….

        'but
        *it's not easy
        like
        footprints on beach
        instead, *it's the marking
        on coral reefs, the movement
        of waves on pebbles'..
        Brilliant!

          I leave this page feeling a little bit sad .. maybe that's because you got such a strong message across today .. and although I rarely read what others have left behind, I couldn't help seeing orchidee's contribution to this page and find myself agreeing with every one of his words ...
          ... I will sign out now in the hope any residual scars heal regardless of cause .. and that as you journey through life and all the knocks, bumps and setbacks you may ever experience .. that you receive only the mildest of golden shaped bruises ............................ Neville x

            I truly agree with Orchi and you….those scars can’t vanish nor be taken away but we can have new beginnings…thanks dear Neville, for the best wishes…I wish I can make through easily with days starting from now…wish maybe a breakthrough….

            This is beyond. That line "but those pains aren’t big, as your dreams" literally made me smile. Our battle scars and past hurts can burden us so immensely, but your words today spoke directly to that pain and rejuvenated it. Everyone must read this, it'll help heal the wounds. Thank you for this marvel.

            • spilleronsheet

              Scars definitely affect us and never goes away,we learn how to handle having them, and eventually figure out that if it wasn't for these scars,being literal or emotional scars,we wouldn't have learned those life lessons and become who we are

              • spilleronsheet

                That is so true dear Blue orchid…we are shaped by the scars we get ….learn about those mistakes…thank you so much, glad you liked it
