i am a seashell
one among many
i have cuts in my shell
wounds in my skin
because
i was tossed
to and fro
by the waves
and the winds
of life's oceans
calloused by
the rough sands
i am complicated
mysterious
yet
fascinating
inevitable change
comes
but the marks
remain
inevitable change
comes
but the marks
remain
my uniqueness
stands out
i am
aesthetically
scarred
scarred

"my uniqueness stands out"... as it should... very powerful message!
ReplyDeleteI guess each of us is a sea shell of sorts. We all carry those scars, hopefully indicative of growth, evolution and progress.
ReplyDeleteThe sea can be rough but it nurtures as well, excellent.
ReplyDeleteWith my little knowledge of you Jean, and the times we have been together, you are a beautiful woman, in and out! Glad to be your friend...

Nice to meet you~
ReplyDeleteYes, we all have been tortured and caressed by life(the sea). Yet our shells(souls) remain intact, hopefully :D
Nicely written...and so true!
ReplyDeleteNicely penned :)
ReplyDeleteThe ocean does cause a lot of change and tossing and turning in the sand would change anything while we are like the shell tossed around in our everyday lives, changing each day through the sands of time.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great poem and thanks so much for playing with us for this weeks Theme Thursday. Hope to see you next week.
God bless.
I enjoy your poetry. Seashells are interesting, you always wonder about their story. Stop by my blog and read my poems, "One More Dance" and "Snow Angels".
