from scars to stars
April 17, 2011
My scars are still scars.
But they will be stars.
I hope sooner. But probably later.
Healing is a process
Laziness won't make progress.
I'm scarred inside. Starry outside.
And only one
can see through the front.
and he turns me from scarry to starry.

Thank you so much for commenting. I don't always mean for my poetry to be confusing. But the thing is, and I don't mean to sound selfish, I write for myself and not really anyone else. So what I understand is different than what other people do. If that makes sense.

OMG! this is beautiful! It was a bit confusing but I think that the confusion emphasized the whole point of the poem <3 I'm glad you had such a great friend to comfort you. I have two best friends when I go through hard times: my friend Cori and poetry :) I like your use of language and your flow alot, too! Wow...hope this isn't too long :)
