Scar

Our scars burst forth 

Like magical daydreams 

Or shards 

Of broken nightmares 

Our words are broken 

Soft like petals

Along the shoreline 

We are lost 

But will rise 

Take a deep breath 

And be 

The light does not

Make us afraid 

We are untethered 

By rights 

Words are our being 

Dreams are sweet 

Like honey briar 

We bear our scars

Smile and wave 

So far behind 

All in front 

We will be found 

Like treasure on a beach 

We will rise 

Let the pink flesh fade.
