Omg Joss- This poem left me speechless it is so well written. I'm going to start with the title because it is perfect and actually holds a metaphor about the poem which is rare. Actually I've never seen it. I really don't know what to say about this poem lol. We all go through wars in our life and here I believe you could be talking about emotional scars you have been through. You are the only one who can see them inside. I loved the "survivor" message at the start of this. When you say look at what I've been through. That struck with me hard because I've been through a lot. I also again how you seemed to write about a past and present thing as well. The first half you are proud of what you have been through. And by the end "now" you can see yourself as beautiful inside and out. Beautiful write!
