Battle Scars - A Tragedy in Progress

Be careful not to burn any bridges we say

And then we turn and walk away

Twenty-twenty is the hindsight we say

We never look back anyway

Do we choose to heed words of wisdom?

Or would we rather make our own mistakes?

No matter what it costs to be who you are

It’s a price worth paying

Know when to slow down and when to work hard

Do you hear what I’m saying?

Think before you talk and crawl before you walk

Respect is not free it’s earned

Take a word from someone who knows

Make your mistakes lessons learned

Don’t be ashamed of your battle scars

And they pile up fast

And when they come back show them the door

These battle scars are past wounds

They’re not hurting me anymore

Make your mistakes lessons learned
