Scars
Scars are like a mask
Always wanted to be hid away
They’re a part of you
And they're there to stay
There's a vision that you can hear
No matter how hard you try
And you need to know you are important, go ahead and cry
You shouldn't have to hide them away because of what others think
They’re beautiful no matter how unique
I care about you
Even if you don't feel the same
Everyone has them
But likes to hide them away
Some were born with them
Some got them throughout the years
All that trash talk about them
Goes out not only one but both ears
People who make fun of you and try hard to bring you down
Are insecure about themselves and in secret they frown
Some scars have shapes
Others have images
Some have color
But some are plain
But all you need to know is you are important
You are beautiful
You are unique
You are perfect
Stop listening to others
Start caring about your sisters and brothers
Stop saying rude things to them like “ I hate you, You’re stupid, I wish you would’ve never been born”
Because those words hurt more than you think they do
They should stand up to you, sometimes they’ll look at you and say
“ I want to be just like him/her when they grow up”
Start loving and start caring about your parents
They were the ones who took care of you when you couldn't take care of yourself
They changed your diapers and soared through tons of money just for YOU
All of their nights without any sleep so they could make sure YOU were okay
Always putting you first and making sure you ate before they did
Them spending their money for you so you could have anything you wanted
Now some people don’t get that
But just cherish the ones around you
I know a lot of people say “ Love your loved ones because they could be gone at any moment”
But people don’t understand how much that means, and how true that is
You need to cherish life because one day not only will others disappear
You will too

Something that inspired me to make this poem was a few of my loved ones. My sister has a scar on her arm due to a tragic event, and she got bullied for it, some of my friends have scars too and get made fun of for them. So I decided to make a poem to show my respect, and to say that even if you have scars, you're not different then anybody else.
