There's Beauty In Your Scars Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

There's beauty in your scars
She had wounds, deeper than the narrow stream that flows into the mighty Zambezi river; Her scars, often made people mistake her for an atlas if only they could see her itinerary; She had marks that made her face look like a rainbow, a collage of pain it's no wonder her tears were stubborn; her heart could not be distinguished from a punching bag from the many times it was pounded upon by the vicissitudes of fate; her story,a tale that transcends mere rhetoric because there's more than meets the eye; her smile,the umbrella that covers all her tears; her make up, the inexplicable mask that clots her sorrows from oozing; I swear her wounds run deeper than Usain Bolt racing underwater...
Her knees to the groun,fingers folded and a head tilted towards the heavens; she petitioned God; stormed Him with questions like why she had to endure such misery at the expense of joy; little did she know that the heavens did hearken u to her plea and sent forth an Angel; she fell in love at forst glance; a man willing to do chores for her, so on his very first job, using nothing but the word; he swept her off her feet but ironically he landed first with his knee amd asked for her hand; in his proposal he said; 'I am the lamb that was slaughtered at the alter that yoir transgressions may be forgot, I am the one that was crucified that you may be saved, I am the magician that defeated desth for you. ' She smiled, because at his touch byvones became bygones; I mean who wouldn't if it is Jesus, yoi fell in love with?
