Oh, this is absolutely lovely... It reminds me so much of one of my favorite songs. "Walking wounded" by Don Francisco.

Absolutely stunning write!

A sad piece either way, but if this is autobiographical, then it is even more so. Still, it is tinged with real beauty and hope at the end there.
Well done, Ren.

Ben

Good to have you back! And yes, definitely beautiful. Take care love.

100% relatable for me

Miss Ren

a heart-felt piece, which reflects your courage and strength. Scars are reminders to what has happened in our lives, we never ask to be wounded in the first place, but we fight on lady!
A really well written piece, albeit with a deep sadness
Much love
Michael :)x

Oh Ren, this is just beautiful. When you've been in one of those relationships that have torn you down and just about destroyed you and that day comes when you can finally see the real you in that mirror. It truly is beautiful. You know you have survived the storm and are still standing. Hugs my friend-

Ren, I just want to say one thing.

Beautifully written. Short yet, full of passion and powerful

I think a person's scars often become the beauty that we all see.
After pain we heal, becoming more resilient, stepping with wary steps until a helping hand shows us how to find courage and trust.

All the best. X

I see a mystery hidden here, which is glorifying this poem. A very wonderful work, written cunningly.
