She perused all her parts,
there she saw a woman full of scars.
Scars that mirror the wars she fought
and flaws naturally scattered in all sorts.
No filter could fit, to really cover them zits
But don’t you know she’s loved for it?
Loved for these scars she can never delete.
A manifestation of absolute valour,
with her vibrant eyes focused on the colours
she never capitulated though odds weren’t in favour.
Battled ’til the end, despite carrying no armour.
She’s truly a woman with an “over-flawed” skin,
but such, with pure strength within.

An INFP whose passion for meanings, symbolisms and philosophy align perfectly with the love for poetry and art. Curious about everything—mostly about people and culture; life and death; astrology and consciousness; brain and science; music and video editing and ofcourse, love and dreams. I have a reaaaalllly wide interest but it all boils down to one thing: ART. The art of diving deep into all of these things that fascinate me and being in the flow of creation—with freedom, with ease, with authenticity.
Deep dive into my soul as you read my words and allow them to penetrate yours by feeling every emotion i have enveloped in them. Discover something about YOU as you find yourself energetically drawn to my light, to my meanings that only you can decode. 😉
Have an inspired tour in my website! Cheers 🥂

She’s a pretty girl. The pure heart sees no scars. They are hidden by the light from her heart. An inner strength that overcomes all challenges.

Ah, those scars are merely the seams of life’s tapestry. They mark the boundaries of our memories, phases, adventures, hopes, and dreams let go. But, one only notices the beautiful scene of the tapestry and the invitation to connect with the story told by each colored thread. Thank you for dropping by Apple. I like it here. Hope you don’t mind if I wander around.

Here is the reality of this piece for me. I have a grand daughter, senior in college who has battled with very flawed skin, not just zits but cysts that turn into huge sore that will leave scars. She has gotten so much better due to some medicine but her scars remain. She is the most wise hearted courageous young women I know. She stay her course in high school, college, tried new thing, made new friends. She could have hidden herself away but did not. How she would have loved your skin, anyone skin but her own but owned the skin she had to live in and live she has. She is truly beautiful inside, kind, not bitter over her issue, loving, has even become more out going through her trial, she is pure strength within. Blessings.
