Some marks are scars
picked up on journeys on paths
strewn about with thorns, broken bottles and barbed wires,
underneath such scars are stories
of broken promises, long cold nights of tears and sorrows,
those scars were once little
scratches that became festering wounds that have now healed,
and have left a mess of ugly marks
on the face of that your favorite role model,
so go ahead, try to duplicate the success story but don’t ignore the pains behind every success.
