                             scarring

      “I show my scars so that others know they can heal.”  
                                     ―Rhachelle Nicol
 
   
                              scared to be scarred  
                              where pride has starred,  
my bosom its incubator;  
                              only to be lonely,  
                              should you disown me,  
husks left alone for later.  
   
                              mock me or make me;  
                              whose life is at stake? gee,  
don’t make me find another!  
                              more taxis are waiting  
                              while you are abating:  
i wonder why i bother.  
   
                              charred to be cheered,  
                              where caprice has jeered  
the wisdom of my folly;  
                              zeroed to be heroed  
                              in time briefly borrowed;  
now watch me fly, by golly!
