Battle wounds, wear them proudly. -VQ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As time carries on it forgets about me

And all of the damage it left in its’ wake

Time doesn’t heal all wounds

Wounds heal over time

And it doesn’t erase the scars that remain

The scars that “remind you the past was real”

The scars that force you to feel

Push you to reveal

Those weaknesses that you try so hard to hide

And my scars are deep, dark, and jagged

The consequences of my lack of better judgement

But I rather wear them proudly

Than forget the lessons I’ve learned

From being burned by my own sins

In that sense, I always win

Because true repentance comes from within

And I’ve grown from my mistakes

Therefore, I accept my scars

And I love them

Because no one else wears them but me.
