A scratch

A scab

A scar

In how I got it

Well im clumsy

Or Thats what I say

I don’t I know the real reason

On how I get my scars

But I get one every year

I heard the reason

Is from when I was an infant

Thyroid problems

Caused some muscle development issues

It’s not my fault

But sometimes it feels like it

They say I get cause

I don’t have full control

I don’t know to be honest

I am not a doctor

But I know without my issue

I would of never discovered

My love for books

With each scar I get

I always tell a funny story

A pencil

Or I tripped on a rope

Fell on cement

Even a Christmas tree

A scratch from my dog

Or a blister pop

Or getting my head glued

At such a young age

All of which is true

With more to tell

Each scar I get

It’s a story

That I love to tell

But I have more than

Physical scars

Emotional to

Not from my home

But the way I was treated from

Kindergarten to 6 grade

But I moved on

Lives my life

And now I am happy

Each scar I get now

I am glad I got them

It’s shows who I am

As a person

I don’t shy away from showing them

I embrace them

They are never going away

So why try
