strength reminders

Wounds heal. But, scars last forever.
Many people look at scars as mistakes, regrets, inperfections. But to me, I love all my scars. On the skin, outside, say I took a chance...and maybe it hurt me, however I am still here and better off because of it. This is the same for my scars on my heart. The breaks have healed but those scars will always be there to remind me that chances taken are lessons learned and those lessons are what make us strrongest. Where would I be if I had played my life as safe as possible...still in the duggout. Only when you take the chance can you find out what sliding into home plate feels like. And yeah, scars may occur through second and third base, but look at what they helped you accomplish.
"Forget the risk and take the fall. If it's meant to be, then it is worth it all."

If you would show up

I would meet you half way, if you would show up. I would forgive, if you would ask it of me. I would forget, if you would only care enough of me to want a new beginning. However, I am not strong enough to travel the distance entirely alone. To have you never turn around, only to keep running ahead. For you to take my forgiveness and drop it at my feet like a dying rose that is thrown out. I am not strong enough to forget and have you destroy me all over again like I never traveled to the end of my heart for you. But, I would meet you half way, if you would show up...
