Fallen
Scarred
Bruised
Injured
Yet trying to make amends
Trying to make things right
Wronged by others
Suppressed by others
Wings detached
Tied in shackles
Gagged to silence
Beaten to helplessness
Yet can’t see the wrong
Thinking that I deserve it
But did I really?
Was there no other way??
No one there to show me the truth
And if anyone did
I know that I would not believe
Because those scars was my life to live.
This is sad and painful. The poem, in my opinion, can have multiple interpretations, but seems to me the girl suffers from a torture or harassment by husband or by the society or even her lover.
The scars are real in this case, and saying they were life to live makes it pessimistic and depressing.
Scars are there, but they aren’t life, they are a part. Having courage will be a life to love. π

Yes Kritika you’re apt about the interpretation what I had in mind π you’re a decoder I guess π yes life is all about pain mostly but the hope should also be alive for a better life always. But I have also seen that in some cases this hope is not there because its all shattered and buried so deep down inside that its as if its not there anymore!! But yes hope is also powerful once we have a sense of its presence or smell its presence π Thank you for feeling for the post!!

Agreed, but gradually we learn. You might not forget how you got that scar but with time it won’t bother you. Once you surround yourself with happiness of being alive.

Scars and bruises are one’s part to live but there is a flip side to it too.

The flip side is the first love or the butterflies in your belly before you are announced a winner or dancing in the first rain with peacocks it a smile on your mother’s face when she looks at you and many many moments of happiness that makes this life better too. It’s not just the scars, there are smiles too.
