POETRY BY TASHA MICHELLE

SCARS

Life is life , and can never be rehearsed.

I'm a beautiful strong woman , and I still know my worth.

Regardless of my scars that are so visible to see.

Exactly what are your thoughts when your looking at me?

You see these are scars I accumulated during my trials in this world.

Scars from adult hood , going back to being a little girl.

Scars that tell a story, scars that have healed.

Scars that left a mark , scars that left tears.

Scars from depression, scars from the rain.

Scars that are deep , scars hard to
explain.

Scars that can be hid , scars that stand out.

Scars I can explain , scars I can't talk
about.

Scars from family , scars from friends.
Scars from children, scars from men.

Some have disappeared, but most of them have been left behind.

Some that were lessons , some that left a bothered mind.

These are my scars , and with the stares I still have no worries.

These are my scars , and each one has a story.

Scars that make me smile , scars of walking away.

Scars of a blessing of seeing another day.

Life is life , and cannot be rehearsed.

Regardless of my scars I still know my worth.

Scars that can be seen, seen by the naked eye.

Scars that had me on my knees asking God why?

Don't judge me by my scars , their not a reflection of me.

Don't judge me by my scars according to what you see.

These are my scars , and I carry them without worry.

These are my scars that tell my life story.

THESE ARE MY SCARS.
