Scars


   Never overlook the scars that grace and mar someone's skin. 

You never know how they've been hurt.

Never take joy from seeing someone's skin burnt or cut.

That is nothing to be proud of.

Never be the reason someone is in pain.

You are better than that.

Kiss their scars.

Heal their pain.

Never hurt a beautiful person, 

they've usually been through enough.

 

Every person has a beautiful soul.

It is not your place to break them.

It is not your place to tear them down.

 

It's never your place to scar a child,

Injure a beautiful gift from above. 

It's never your place to scar or break them,

Let them learn,

Let them be children. 

 

It's never the right thing to break a heart,

don't tear someone down.

Don't kill the goodness of this world.

 

People are different,

Each one to the next.

They differ in size, shape and the rest. 

 

So never hurt a child,

Never break a heart.

Never laugh at someone's scars.

Because humanity is a beautiful type of art.
