Scars of Love

The scars are deep
No one can see them
They live on the heart
Claw marks of desperation
Old and new scratches
Of an attempt to live
An official diagnosis
No medical can give
A lacking of self-love
Allowing others
To do just the same
The cure quite simple
Not always easy to do
Consider yourself
Make you a priority
Show the respect
That you do for others
To the one of importance
Be kind to yourself
And give it some time
But carry on trying
You’re worth the effort
