I wear it like a battle scar
earned in strife and mine
every letter filled
with promises broken
doubting, love
mistrust and hope
driven, the weapons
tiny needles, tiny pins
over the years
fighting for what was mine
my territory
my heart and mind
learning how
to say mine
and mean it
so I wear it like a battle scar
after the years of quiet war
war on the homefront
war in the home
allies beaten surely
but teaching taken
pinhole wounds field stitched
always scarring
never regretted
never
I wear it like a battle scar
proud
strong
earned
won
never a mistake
and mine
