Scars

Not all scars

are visible.

Some are veiled

behind the facade

called life.

Some heal

on the surface,

but bleed

at the slightest scratch.

And some are so deep

that they make you wish

you were dead,

every. single. day.

They make you insecure

and your self- hate grows

until the grief envelops you

and you don't want

to live anymore.

But no matter how much

pain you go through,

These scars are also the reason

you are alive.

Thriving, fighting, smiling

despite all.
