I am grateful for every tear, Every heartache, every rejection; That I received--and suffered for; For they sculpted me, Into the battered soul--I am, today. Yes, I'm full of wounds and cicatrices; Yet, I'm more meaningful, this way. OPEN FOR COLLAB (Please don't remove tag; so I can see. Thanks.) "Realizations" We, truly, don't need to be, perfectly, unblemished. The scars and wounds, we own, are badges of courage and persistence.
