The Scars That Make Us

jenny.g

The moments that rip your heart out

Paint jagged scars across your soul

Like the desecration of a shark attack

They fade over time

Become less inflamed

Less furious

Less raw

But when the light catches at a certain angle

Or someone cares enough to look closely

The shiny silver slivers are still visible

To the well trained eye
