Those scars I used to have…

Used to hold me
Jail my spirit inside
Those scars I used to have crumbled me
Caused me to want to hide.
Scars of life
Scars of fear and pain
Those scars…
They used to drive me insane.
 

Those were scars that I never wanted
Scars that I hated to see
But they somehow were scars that I thought set me free
Free from my insecurities, sadness, and life
Free…
 

They were scars that I had to hide
Scars that I was scare for others to see
Scars that reflected the inner sadness inside of me
 

But thankfully, those scars I used to have,
They now are placed in the past tense
And looking back now it doesn’t make sense
 

Why did I make those scars?
Why the sadness?
Why the lack of belief in myself
Why the tears, the great sadness that I felt.
And why the pain?
Why the pain?
I should have realized…
There was always a rainbow in the rain.
I had so much more life to gain.
 

Those scars are far from me
Deep in my past
I’m so glad that sadness didn’t last.
Those scars have fallen in time
They are now just faded memories in my mind.
They’ve become something I escaped
Something I was able to overcome
Something I was pulled from.
Those scars are now in the past,
nothing I contemplate.
I’m just so thankful that I was able to escape.
 

I guess I found my way.
Feeling lucky to be happy,
To be alive.
So lucky to be able to thrive.
 

Those scars are now my scars of triumph.
Happiness is mine for the taking.
Freedom to be free and happy has always been mine…
