scar tissue

by

entry picture

 

Scar tissue - pure

impregnable

smooth

life rolls off it like a glacier

 

Tough as old boots that’s me

 

Scar tissue

as blemish free as

porcelain

a reflective eye

cool as a pearl

Scar tissue

 

Tough as old boots that’s me

 

Scar tissue

Tearless and fearless

Cut glass features

Taught as perfection

Ignore the reflection

Scar tissue

 

Tough as old boots that’s me

 

 

 

◄ happy valentines day guys!

Stef - this poem is deffo not about me - I'm always crying and certainly not blemish-free! And I'm also beginning to resemble an old boot! Or maybe an old bat! And I ain't no way tough! xx

I have a six inch scar on my head. I keep my hair short deliberately. I am tough inside.
