Scars…
Upon our flesh
Sting our lips
Haunt our minds
Invade our veins
Reminders of…
The times we’ve lived
Of lessons learned
Dreams forgotten
Victories won and problems conquered
Scars…
Have brought us here
Shaped who we are
Made us stronger
Renamed us
…Survivors…

Jessica – as with all your poems, so poignant.
Question: do you take the photos first, then write your interpretation / inspiration around it? Or if not, how do you find images that so perfectly match your words?
Thanks so much! I usually take photos of things that catch my eye and then come up with the words later as the images inspire me. It’s a fun process… at least I think so – lol 😉
The imagery of this photo is perfect! The meaning of these words is right on point, and very beautiful!
So glad you enjoyed it 💛
