Scars

Scars
Mine are invisible as they are on my heart
Mostly I forget
But then something happens, someone shares their scars
And I remember

I would rather forget
But I know that when I let mine be shown
I can show how much I have healed over time
(a long, long time)

But they will always be with me
They will always be there to remind me
That I need to forgive those who hurt me
So that I can be forgiven

Under the scars
It still hurts the child within
And the woman on the outside smiles and says
I'm okay

His scars brought me salvation and healing
Maybe mine can help someone, too
