I bear my scars
As a badge of honor
My pain
Is a crown,
my fear, a crescent
I carry my battle
On my lips
And my shadows,
In my eyes
I will wander when lost
And whisper in silence
I will never regret
And never undo
I am more than my scars
bigger than my body
Larger than my dream
Aged beyond my years
Wrinkles line my mind
Yet so small
The dream so little
The future
So unknown
