They lace her skin
Grim reminders of her past

Some are silvery white
Some still pink and tender

People tell her to cover them up
'no one wants to know the ugly truth'

But to her, their symbolism
Is of beauty

Because if he hadn't come along,
She wouldn't have these scars

Because in order for scars to form
Healing needs to take place

And as everyone knows
The wounds of a cadaver don't heal

Those ugly marks along her body
Are the badges of a survivor

The beauty of the broken
