That Scar In My Heart

                   

That Scar In My Heart

You  made  a  wound  in  my  heart,

And  it  still  hurts  to  think  about  that.

I know  you  were  working out  that  spiteful  game  of yours,

To  shatter  everything  that  we have  in  our  lives.

I  stood  there  staring  at  the  wall,

Which  was  now  filled  with  that  filthy  scribbling  of your  hands.

Then I heard a whimper from my side,

There  I  saw  my  loved  ones  in  tears -

Their  eyes  fixed  at  your  vicious  deed,

And  that  broke  my  heart  apart.

Those tears in their eyes were like stabbings in my heart,

Of course  it  was  painful  and  I  felt  like  bursting out,

But  I  stayed  strong,  only  for  them.

Do you think that dirty act of yours will ever bear its fruit?

If  you  think  YES, well  then  you  are  wrong. 

Thanks  to  you  my  friend, because- 

That  wound  you  made  in  my  heart,

Has  now  left  a  scar -

A  scar  that  can  never  be  healed,

A  scar  that  reminds  me  to  go  on,

A  scar  that  makes  me  strong  every time  I  fail,

A  scar  that  means  I  survived,

A  scar  that  impulsed  me  to vow  to  myself -

That  I  will  never  let  a  tear  fall  from  their  eyes  ever again. 

Yes!, I’ve  turned  that  scar  in my  heart into WISDOM,

Wisdom, that will take me to my destiny.
