SCARS-revision 2

 

 

SCARS There is no place to hide.
No corner of the heart or soulThat doesn’t know.
There is no sanctuary
Ruthless
Unforgiving memory Eyes always see What used to be
Ghosts breathing still aliveShadows of yesterday
Hauntings of the mindThis heart and soul survive
Wounds heal they say
True
But  like scars
They never fade away
No... they never do

Hi Joe,

I have some scar tissue that never seems to heal, too. (Maybe I should stop picking at it?) This is a really intense write. I spotted one or two mistypings that disturb my teacher´s eye (l.5 "ruthless"? and a spare "i" in "hauntings", l.11). Nevertheless, awesome! Yours, ~Nina

Than you, Nina

J.B. Longo-Geremia Both corrected. Apparently this English teacher is getting careless. :) I am happy you enjoyed the "poem." Joe
