no scar, perfect skin
that's the ideal
no war, perfect living
but is that real?
we want to be perfect
porcelain face and body
not a single defect
ha, if only.
but stretch marks tell
all our stories of
growing pain hell
or a new life born from love
from washing clothes
dry hands cry
others will fold
what they wrung dry
battle scars show
the wars we have won
big or small, they glow
bright for our loved ones
