Even Leaving Leaves a Trace

NOT about relationships and not necessarily self-harm related.

They say that wounds will heal with time
But that process does sure take a while.
And afterwards even, when the gash is gone
The scar is still where the wound was once.
Thus, a wound does never merely disappear
Instead it just turns into a scar as it heals.
xxxxx
They claim that scars evetually fade
But they're still there, ever so faint
These traces that time left will remain
The only possible change, one of shade.
xxxxx
Because even though the scars will stay
For now and for ever, never going away,
It's possible still that perhaps the pink pales
Getting lighter and brighter and less visible,
But nevertheless, still ever telling this tale:
That nothing leaves without leaving a trace.

Author's Note

My first original WritersCafe Publication!
Dedicated to: Traces left behind.
Like I said, it is NOT necessarily self-harm related, because self-harm doesn't even necessarily leave a trace.

that was awesome and true

[Light and ashes]

This is so true and I love the meaning behind the metaphor. These scars become a part of us and therefore a part of our story.

[Priscilla Sayers]

So much truth, and I love it. A bold voice that booms. It speaks volumes and another one that I applaud you for.

"That nothing leaves without leaving a trace."
