Written In The Scars Of My Heart Poem by Paula Glynn

Written in the scars of this heart,
My heart has been battered and bruised,
I have been taken advantage of,
I have been alone and confused,
But I am not a victim anymore,
I have explored my options,
And have seen the truth,
For written in the scars of this heart,
Is a heart beating with love.

I never give up or look down,
I like to be positive and be myself,
I don't wallow in misery,
And I am happy as I look for love,
Sometimes in the most unusual places,
But the boots have come and trampled on me,
And yet I am still alive,
As I work nine to five,
As hard as that is, but I like hard work,
I like knowing and earning my worth.

I am liquid gold, although I am no superwoman,
But I am a tough character and see the world,
For I am a winner, and I am never boring,
For I have learnt my lessons in love,
Even though I have been battered and bruised,
In the process, but angels watch over me,
As I get up and dust myself off,
The battle scars barely visible.

It can be a hard life, but a beautiful life,
And I try and try again, never getting bored,
For I may be a material girl at heart,
But it is a heart beating with love,
And this love is for you,
A star through and through.
