The scar upon your soul

a poem aobut the residue from violence any kind of violent act

w you as

 

 

The scar upon a soul

When they scar your soul

You're never the same

just one small act or numerous ones over time

does not matter the scar sticks no matter which

Like a tattoocannot be remove

if you forget it there

something always bring it back

does not go away

those with the scar tried to hide it

walking quietly around the issues

thinking  noone will know

leaving the light out Hoping people won't see  the scar

that marks us for a life time

thing that haunts our existence

sometimes we go months even years not realizing it there

one day  without notice comes alive again

something wild  growing in  a yard

it break loose from it confines

all who walk by see the weed breaking out of control

we carefully pushed it back into the dark corner

the shame of knowing that the scar still there

wondering if everyone will see the damage from

what they did

the pain that does not go away

it diminishes some lesson the impact

but then out of nowhere it hits you again

ready to let the world see the shame of what lies

deep deep inside your soul

tattoo that marks you for life

you know You heard it before

You seen the look of disgust in their eyes

as you sought to explain its Your shame not theirs

only witness of the tattoo left behind

the  darkness surrounding

one act or many it does not matter

a short time or long

its all the same

the darkness is just dark

thoughts cross your mind you wonder

is the punishment because you lived

or the punishment  that you carried the tattooo the scar on your soul

always reminding you of that fateful time

when someone had to let you know

you were the nothing they needed to release their anger upon
