Her body bears scars

Like divine ink on parchment:

A vessel of grace


The author's comments:

My body bears many scars from all that I have gone through in having cancer (at the age of 10). This poem reflects on the beautiful nature of these scars—how they are like war marks from the battle I went through, and how my body is still gorgeous even when they cover me.
