of scars and wounds

People have scars at all sorts of unexpected places.

Like a secret roadmaps of their personal histories,

diagrams of all their old wounds.

 

Most our old wound heals, leaving nothing behind but a scar;

but some of them don’t.

There are some wounds that we carry with us everywhere,

and even though the cut’s long gone, the pain still lingers.

 

What’s worse?

New wounds which are still horribly painful?

or, Old wounds which should’ve healed years ago but never did?

 

Maybe our old wounds teach us something,

they remind us where we’ve been,

and what we’ve overcome.

They teach us the lessons of what to avoid in the future.

 

That’s what we think.

but it’s not the way it is, is it?

because there are still somethings we have to learn;

over and over and over again.
