There are scars people can see.
They don’t hurt as much as the
scars people can’t see.
You wear them well. For now.
We all have scars. I guess it just
depends on what we do with them.
Time will pass. Some will still
stare at your figure. Others will
gawk at your good looks.
Most won’t see past the exterior
glaze. I thought, “Sexy. But looks
pretty hard. Not for me!”
Can’t you see that the makeup you
wear doesn’t cover up a thing?
As we get older, our bodies wear
the character of our souls.
