funky uncle mustard

Beat up

Thereâ€™s a part of me
thatâ€™s beat up

afraid

burnt and scarred

And that tissue wonâ€™t
grow again

if itâ€™s on the surface

But if itâ€™s within

Regeneration
awaits

What was I thinking?
I think we all have scars of one sort of another. Some deep, painful. Others maybe less so. But unlike scars on our skin, there is hope for those internal scars. Sometimes just knowing that helps. At least I hope it does.

Thanks for this poem. It expresses well the idea of damage and scars vs. pain and healing. That hope helps us keep on.
