scarify

remember and know
i am a seed

and all the nicks and scrapes
the fiascos, the hard breaks
the falls that i take
that scarify me so
tattooed upon my heart
and etched upon my skin
are not a wrinkled reckoning
or proof of ruination
but are in fact
to speed my germination

so from within kernel encasing
i may sprout and grow
