Are Scars Beautiful?

Are you also one of those girls who want to be beautiful?

Well, I'll shamelessly accept that I am one of those girls.

And I ask myself, why am I not enough for myself?

Why are my body and my face and my features

And my scars and heartbreaks so much less than what I desire?

I'm not going to tell you to love yourself.

I'm not a crusader of self love.

What I'm going to tell you is,

It's okay to feel less!

But what's wrong is,

We have been using somebody else to do this self criticism.

Do you wanna be beautiful?

Don't listen to the self-love enthusiasts to tell

That your scars that they are beautiful.

What I would do is maybe

just sit with my scars for some time and ask myself

Why should I identify with my beauty?

Why should anything being

Beautiful be the standard for acceptance.

Place your complete attention on your scars and tell them...

'You can be what you want to be.

I will heal you because my life matters to me.

But I will not coax you into leaving me by telling you that you are beautiful.

The only truth is you exist.

And I need to accept this without trying to hide you beneath any label.

I will lend you my love, too but I'll do this to show you the doorway out of my heart.

I don't think you're beautiful, my dear scar

But I also don't think you're ugly .'
