Never hide your scars from me.
They take nothing from your beauty.
They are reminders of your strength.
Most of your scars can’t be seen.
They lie beneath the surface,
within you,
easily forgotten when the pain that made them
demands all the attention.
I love you for all of your scars,
for the person you’ve become
through endurance.
So while I can’t perfectly name
all the hurt you carry inside,
I will love these scars
on your perfect body
I will kiss them,
name them,
love them.
And I hope they remind you,
as they remind me,
how strong
and how beautiful
you are.
