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!
