Scars

Time heals all wounds… a lie we tell others as words of comfort when we’ve witnessed their pain and have no light to offer.

Time heals some wounds yes. The pain fades as life endures… but ask yourself, “why do they fade?”. It’s only when we’ve encountered far worse wounds… Wounds that make the others seem so trivial that the marks they once left become a distant memory, a punch line in a joke among friends, a wistful thought of simpler times. The wounds that time can’t heal are the problem. They leave their scars so raw, so real, that you’re sure the slightest touch will reopen them. I live each day fearing that some of my scars may never fade until the day I’m asking to endure more… and knowing that I can’t.
