Friendly Reminders

Sometimes i wish the scars would disappear
Reminding me of such a dark time in my life
When everything was crashing down
And I could only turn to that cold knife

The scars remain there on my arms
Never ceasing to remind me of lonely years
Accompanied by pain, hurt, deep depression
And more than a couple of tears

Then one day I saw them differently
I looked at them in a positive light
They reminded me of where i came from
And how i've now set my life right

They give me hope of knowing
There's always a tomorrow
Knowing that no matter what
I can always bounce back from all my sorrow

Set so deep in my wrists
These permanent lines.
They no longer make me ashamed
I now wear them with pride.
