Unmake the scars that I bear.
Those lingering memories
of rejection.
Unmake me.
Undo the tears,
the crying done in my father’s arms,
the restless nights,
the isolation and
the fear.
Strip me
bare
and unmake
into a babe
unmarked by life.
Erase my name,
forget my face
and undo the scars
that make me Human
