Hello, my blade.
Hello, my bandage.
Hello, dear scars,
seen from any vantage.

I've come to say farewell,
for I am starting anew.
You must leave now,
for what I say is true.

You helped me through struggle,
You helped me cope.
But now I'm trying,
to believe in hope.

The scars will remain,
but they're simply a reminder.
Of a different time,
from which I have grown stronger.

The author's comments:
I made this poem very short and simple because I tend to drag on my poems and they often lose their value and meaning. I really wanted this to convey my message without having to go on a rant about it, either.

very hopeful poem. It looks at a new future and shows that no matter what your past, you can grow stronger from it
