A Letter To My Scars

By Arushi Agarwal

Hello dear scar,

You are my star, glowing on my skin like my past sin

It feels like your arms are my embrace

You can only save me from making bad choices

Scars are my friends who send good wishes

Sailing through the crimson blues of the daylight

Hello dear scar can you be honest?

Please tell me

Will there ever be a stop from getting hurt by people who hate to be around you?

Hello dear scar,

I think it was just the start, to making happy memories with my loved ones

It was when you covered me with your presence

Hello dear scar

The crime I committed seems like the half-broken moon

In its cracking voice, it is saying

Hush! I am dropping down from heaven to set you right

Don’t ever hinder my sight
