A Life Lived
Original Submission by Rebecca Mitchell
A Life Lived
What’s a life with no scars or bruises
It’s a story left untold.
From the cuts on my arms to the ink on my back.
It’s all part of my mold.
Life is not a yellow brick road.
It’s harder than it seems.
Take life with a pinch of salt.
A little bitter.
A little sweet.
