Tattoos and Scars
Traveling through life,
we collect the wounds.
These shape us, change us.
These color our sight.
Make us who we are
Define who we've been.
As the barnacles build,
we choose their effect.
At times a hindrance,
their drag causing grief,
but too an armor
giving us a shield.
For those who dare look,
wisdom on offer.
We soon realize
despite the burden
they stand to protect.
Hide not the marking.
Bear it all with pride.
Respect the offer.
Make peace embracing. Discussion about this post
