An Ode To The Scabs
Can you see my scabby places? They’re not pretty. They’re not beautiful. And they’re not polished. Can you see my scabby places? These healing places where the raw edges of myself are knitted back together. Can you see my scabby places? They’re not pretty. They’re not beautiful. And they’re not polished.
