Scars

Picture it: You look down and see a long white line running down your leg. A thought always comes to mind: "Wow that really hurt" or "HA! What a fun night that was". But no matter what it's still there isn't it? Isn't that one part of your body always going to have a little thing reminding you of that time and what not to do or maybe what to do. But I think there are Scars that go deeper then flesh. Scars that go all the way in, deep enough that it holds you back from things that could make you so happy, yet because of a scar or a break in you're mind you're too crippled to try to do these things. To trust, to love, to be caring and close to someone, maybe to even take risks at all. Sometimes it goes to the back of your mind and you seem to be fine for a while but then something happens and it's like someone took and sliced that scar open so that you have to live through the pain all over again, they make it so that one thing is yet again something you fear. Something strange and distant that can never again be regained in your life, something that you can see other people doing but are to afraid or to weary to do yourself.
             Sometimes to get past these things you have to let go of things, sometimes new things are needed. But just be cause we "get by them" doesn't mean that they are gone. A cut may heal but scars last a life time
