Scars

A Poem by Vincent

Written Monday, August 8, 2011

Sculpted in the flesh like wrinkles
Created by life or self-inflicted
All of them holding a private significance
Reminding you of the frailty of life
Someday, someone will touch them and feel happy - you’re alive

You pen the truth here, Usually it is you that touch them and think how glad you are to be alive. there are those that will do the same, and we have those who we are glad are alive as well. A classic poem on the human condition
