...

The scars make me believe

In the beauty of

Brokenness.

The beauty of being

Beaten down into the

Depths of despair

And making it out alive.

The scars

Are a morbid art form,

That separate and bring

Together the most broken

And beautiful souls,

Like an uncertain

Needle and thread,

Working to create something

To be admired.

Oh the scars...
