Scars

Do not hide your scars.
Do not forget their lessons.
Do not demean their power.
We obtain scars because we live.
We fight. We battle. We challenge ourselves.
Our scars do not diminish us.
They define us.
We become stronger.
We become bolder.
We become braver.
Our scars do not weaken us.
They warrant us.
We learn.
We grow.
We gain.
Bare those scars with pride.
Explain them.
Expose them.
You've earned them.
