Description
You see the scars across his face.A knife pulled across his cheek.
You see the scars all over her body.
Flames raged, her body ablaze.
You see the scars on his arm.
Where he slid over the tarmac.
You see the scars which are her knees.
With which she fell upon the floor.
You see the scars over his eye.
The knife took it away.
You see the scars on her legs.
Which she has cut so many times.
You don't see the scars in their minds.
Of all the words they heard.

Dank je ^_^
Er is zoveel meer dan wat me aan de buitenkant van iemand zien, de echte littekens zitten in je geest.

This is great, I have my own scars, and while they're normally covered, it's excellent to hear someone who understands what scars mean.

I may not have any physical scars, but I have them in my mind.

The scars of the mind are always the deepest, yet the most easy to ignore for the others. It's crazy sometimes how you can seem fine on the outside while you're dying inside.
Beautiful piece of writing, I really like your style

What you don't see is hard to accept and easy to ignore. If you don't look behind just the shallow words on the outside you might come across a horror field on the inside. Something most people don't want to see too, so they ignore it.
Thank you that you like my style. Check some of my other poems too

Very true. A lot of depth, well-thought, and the last two lines resonate. Excellent work, love.

Thank you. The whole poem was meant a build up for the last two lines, which are off course the opposite and the exact same as the other stanzas.

Precisely delivered, might I add. The scars that run deepest are those which lie beneath the skin.
