Your Scars Make You Beautiful

it’s your scars
that make you beautiful

the places you have been torn
and broken

that’s where your radiant compassion
grew
that’s from where
it shines through

melting stony guardedness
uprooting secret thoughts
destroying habits
making people forget who they were
before they met you

in an instant
setting ablaze a thousand souls

it’s your scars that make you beautiful
