"Lightning Tree
Look, look at my scars,
see how it has healed,
leaving a sign of what I have survived.
Your scars will heal in this way
leaving their reminder of past trauma.
Grow strong, deeply rooted,
you will be stronger for surviving.
Show your scars, do not hide them,
they are a part of you,
a sign for all time.
