Your Wounds

Lauren Jarvis-Gibson

Time doesn’t heal wounds

to make you forget.

It doesn’t heal wounds to

erase the memories.

Time leaves you with a scar

to remind you of how you fought through it.

Time leaves you with a scar

to remind you of how you bled

and how you survived.

You survived.
