Analysis of Beautiful scars



Each one holds a story,
Each one made me stronger than the last,
Each one was bold enough to tell a soul,
Each one holds the truth of the past.

Dived into a bed of deception, and hurt.
Embraced all of the pain and cries,
Each story has an end
I stand, I look ahead, I rise.

Time heals all wounds, but yet, the scars remain.
What people see as evil, I see as beautiful
It is not what I lost, but what I have gained.

I am not the same, yet, the scars remain.
Each one holds a story,
Each one has an end,
Most defined, I call them beautiful scars.

About this poem

For years, a woman wore her scars of everything she been through. What people saw as evil, she saw as beautiful because of what she had gained. She had learned to embrace her scars
