Many successes are built on scar tissue..how important that you share this!
I never learned anything valuable when I was happy!
Good job..your poem is full of hope!

Powerful words
"building an armor so impenetrable
that the slightest touch of healing
seems like it can never break through
the tears that fall
turn to stone"

Loved it
