"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger"

I read the quote, and begin to ponder....

The paralyzed one, doesn't feel more strong....

The life sentenced one, not stronger- just gone....

The victimized one, still frail and weak.....,

And the creative one, tweaks the words that we speak........

To make us think,

What we think.

Don't be ashamed of your scars.

I can show you scars that only dead people have.

Cover them with tattoos and call them creativity.

Smother the "I have scars" blues

And negativity.

They were your escape wounds to longevity.
