Scars are to be honoured,
For they remind us of our strength and bravery,
How we were not wasted by the wound that threatened to take our lives.

Scars are not to be covered with shame,
For they can remind the world of our sweet and bitter past,
How we have payed for so many things with our tears and blood.

Scars on the body and scars in the heart,
They are symbols of strength and bravery that should be honoured.
