Scars remind me where the arrows went in
Piercing me deeply
Breaking open skin
Tearing and bleeding rivers of grief
That flow within
The scars still itch
From where the hurting lived
Reminding me of fires that burned
Awakening me to
Pain and light
Over long days
Through dreamless sleep
Buried beneath dark shadows of night
Scars bore testament to this
Initiation in service of the Self
Bidding me surrender to
The truth of love that burned to live
Most certainly birthed
Through fires of suffering
Emerging From The Dark Night 
I was toying with doing something about scars but could never get it right. This is just perfect.
