There are a hundred scars on her body,
some seen, some unseen
Many more are hidden deep in her heart
Silently bleeding without a drop of blood
Each scar tells a story
of the battles fought hard
and many of the meek surrender
They are the imprint of the ink
life has used to leave back memories
Some times she washes them
with the tears in her eyes
and sometimes with the smile
on her face
And yet she is resolute
Unashamedly wearing those jewels
And treading her way
on a path of thorns
