The Bruises I have cannot be seen,

they cannot be felt,

they cannot be held.

They cannot be kissed by a mother,

comforted by a father.

The bruises I have are made from me,

they are made from the past.

The bruises I have kill me to bear,

but bearing them is how I live.

The bruises I have are what define me,

they show me what is beautiful,

they are what made me to be me.

The bruises I have cannot be seen,

For the bruises I have are what strengthens me.
