It's an older poem from a few weeks ago a most definately not my best but its the only one that applies medically lol, let me know what you all think  :guitar:

Bruised and Scarred

For years I've lived at the point of a knife.
So many times I've been within an inch of my life.
Felt like a hero and a rat.
Something wrong and back at bat.
Now I am bruised and scarred.
All the blades and souls with which I've sparred.
So much I've endured in this life.
Standing on the edge of a knife.
My body has been cut and sewed.
My mind is whole and my soul will never corrode.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
