Salve Poem by Alexander Onoja

Dear Body,
no matter how damaged you are,
your error is significant.
you've taken many bumps and bruises,
yet you're magnificent.

Dear Scar,
you have stayed with me longer than most people have,
and I am proud to call you mine.
Your spot on me is an evidence,
that a blemish is a perfection in actual design.

You are not handicapped,
You are not special,
You're Strong, You're Powerful, You're Beautiful.
You're Mine.
