What Makes Us Who We Are
What Makes Us Who We Are
Scarred, broken, twisted
our wounds
the cleft-lip scar
Cesarean slash
entrance,
exit wounds
the unseen heartbreak
rift and rupture
shape us forever
if we survive them
Finding our way
a scar can teach—
the raised ridge
a new formation
changed,
often stronger
"... often stronger." May it come and stay with you.
