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..
That’s true orchi….new beginnings….
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.
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!
Thank you so much dear Mek, a smile comes in my eyes….glad you liked it
Much appreciated…
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.
It’s truly heartwarming to read the beautiful comments you leave on my screen…makes my poetry special….Scar truly became healing after reading your words…those scars will lighten…I am sure of it…the way you connect with the writer is immensely credible dear Rocky…its always lovely to read your review….have a lovely day ahead dear Rocky….
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
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
I love it
Our scars remind us that we lived another day. To survivor in us moves on. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks dear crypticbard…they truly tell our victories…
