"Thre's no need to change the past. Because of the past we are who we are now, Every second, ever action from then... is linked to us here and now" ~Gray Fullbuster


Don't focus on the scars; Focus on the smiles

Don't focus on the scars
Focus on the smiles
Don't think about what you've done in the past
Look forward and think about what you will do in the future
Don't dwell on your mistakes
Learn and become stronger to get a second take

Each laugh, each giggle, each smile
Can help a person go on for another mile
The past will only bring you pain
So why think about it?

Don't focus on the scars
Think about the smiles
Don't think about all the tears you've cried
Think about all the times you were truly happy
Don't think about all the pain you went through
Think about how much you grew

We are human
Meaning we make mistakes
No one is truly perfect
No one is truly fake

Don't be ashamed of who you are
Be yourself no one else
Don't be afraid to make mistakes
You always have a second take
Don't assume you're useless
When in reality you are one of a kind

You're loved
People do care
You're never alone
There's always someone there

Don't think you're weak
When you're actually unique
Don't think you're ugly
When you're Beautiful in you're own way
Don't believe the words of a demon
When they are just trying to hurt you

So don't focus on the scars; Focus on the smiles
