Battle Wounds


Scars show the memories of your life

Scars shows the wars you'd faced in your adolescent life onto your old age 

My battles were against my own people who told me I was wrong

My battles were against the foes who tried to ruin my country who

once supported me, but later on would go against me

As I looked around the battles I've fought, I wondered what I could

of been if I didn't face the problems ahead of me

Would I've been broken and unable to speak my truth or unbroken and

able to speak my truth?

Besides, I'm always fighting these battles without the scars to prove it
