MY SCAR

Into my skin a scar dwells
Living the memories of my time.
A window
          to the future
Resemblance
          of the past.
A mask
          uncovered
A veil
          discovered
My earth
          uprooted within.
It is my world
       my mood
       my thoughts
It is everything
                    as one.
Yet locked up so tight with my pain
Hidden within the curtain of my tears
Expose it
Relive it
My scar.

Written in 1998.
