Friday Inspiration
Scars
You see me, do you see my wounds
All of those times I risked my life for you
I never feared what lied behind the tomb
Because I dedicated my all to you.
I bet you wish I was through
But no I have something greatly to protect too
I’ll put my blood, sweat, and tears
Into it until I feel them rushing out of my ears
I can’t allow that presence of fear.
You see me, do you see my wounds
It’s been this way from the womb
I was born to protect
Ever since we met
I chose you
I’d lay my life down like an all In bet
I won’t die knowing you’re upset.
For years I watched the stars
As they climbed further and further away like this time of ours
I’ll bear these scars forever
They all make me better
All of the cuts and tears I took for you
I wouldn’t even regard them as wounds
But it makes sense right?
You’ve watched me jump in front of fire for you
Walk the thin wire for you
That’s because you’re a part of me too.
I am the past and you are the present
The future is determined by your acceptance
I battled so you can relax
I lost so you could win
I cried so you could smile
Do you understand that I am about to pass?
Look at me one more time as the last
You will forever wield my scars
But they will be the reason you shine like the morning star
Because you embraced them and let the pain go
So they could be like priceless etching on aged stone.
You will never be perfect
But you can be whole
Regardless my battles I welcome you home
To the present go back
And be like me
Fight for a better future and then you’ll see
My wounds
My scars
Just me.
