First They Bleed

Wounds heal
but,First they bleed
and then they scar
for remebering

Every wound
a lesson learned
And the scar reminds you
how much it hurt

I have many memories
badges of courage
and stupidity
They have been invaluable to me
they have taught me
everything

This is great - you convey a message and no not a word is wasted.

I have to agree with everyone else on this - the message is so simple and powerful it really strikes out especially because you don't waste one word in this piece and you haven't overcooked it by thinking it might be 2 short and have to add extra stanzas.

i love this! it's short, sweet, and to the point. and as a bonus, it speaks with the wisdom of someone who (seemingly) has been through alot. ~Lauren~

Not all scars are visible, but even the ones we carry across the surfaces of our hearts and souls add a weight to the moments we remember and the list of lessons we have learned. Scars are, in my opinion, beautiful...as is this write. ~*Beth*~
