looking past the pain,
looking past the turmoil,
not even willing
to hear the story
of how they came to be;
their shallow glares
recoiling at the sight.
all they see
are the numerous spots
of discolored brown
that mar my skin,
only seeing
what they wish to see.
they view my marks
as blemishes or imperfections.
but why do they view them
on a negative note?
when I see them,
I see the memories
they show,
the stories
they tell.

Is there anything wrong with my scars?
