Another poem

Scars

My scars define me

My scars remind me

The pain I left behind

Mistakes I’ve buried

Regret that I carried

That cut me to the ground

Peel back the skin

See through the sin

I am reborn anew

I am reborn to you

The hand that pulled me through

Shadows try to chase

Try to erase

All the things I have become

I stumble but don’t fall

Bend and not break

I will never again

Be that man

To face the black

Hell at my back

I have no fear

And I never will

You rain your love down on my face

And you call out the sun

And your light dispels

All that may oppose

And I am strong

Standing in your grace

Prepared for eternity

Pushing back the walls

And stepping into forever

In your hand

In your heart

I love you.

I am yours

And I am most thankful

For that.
