Scars That Teach Us

A cycle of poems «When Your Love Turns to Ashes»

Dusty photo, faded light
A ghost of a smile, shining bright
Remember the day, the careless move
The fall that left a groove

These scars aren't just marks on my skin
They're stories etched deep from within
Each jagged line, a lesson learned
A fire ignited, a chapter burned
Scars that teach us, scars that show
How strong we are, how far we'll go

That jagged scar, a burning sting
Reminds me of the broken wing
Tried to fly too fast, too soon
Crashed and burned beneath the moon

These scars aren't just marks on my skin
They're stories etched deep from within
Each jagged line, a lesson learned
A fire ignited, a chapter burned
Scars that teach us, scars that show
How strong we are, how far we'll go

I used to hide them, ashamed and shy
Afraid they'd catch a judging eye
But now I wear them with a sense of pride
They're proof I lived, I roared inside

These scars aren't just marks on my skin
They're stories etched deep from within
Each jagged line, a lesson learned
A fire ignited, a chapter burned
Scars that teach us, scars that show
How strong we are, how far we'll go

Yeah, scars that teach us, they make us wise
Reflections of battles in our own eyes
They're a reminder, when shadows call
We rise again, standing tall.
Standing tall.
