Battle Wounds
May 19, 2012
You may not see my scars
or my battle wounds.
But mine hurt me
just as much as yours hurt you.
These battle wounds
affect everything I do.
Just like yours do to you.
It hurt when I got them.
Just as much,
if not more.
as when you got yours.
I can only ease the pain;
I can never erase.
These wounds aren’t just skin deep
like yours may be.
The battle wounds of mine,
you may not see.
But trust me,
they really do hurt me.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
