Let Them See

“Don’t hide away your flaws
like they deserve to be kept in the dark.”

Flaws make us real.
They show that we’ve lived,
despite everything
that’s happened.
They are war wounds,
badges of survival.
They tell stories
about living.
They remind us
how we’ve persevered.
They are trophies
of our strength.
Let them see the light.
Let them tell your story.
