The light of your soul
is as bright as the stars
where scars have no hold
until they transform into
gold and true wisdom.
This natural alchemy
will help your heart understand
the genuine amends
that are waiting in the wings
of new freedom.

I liked the first two lines about the light of the soul being as bright as the stars. Although they don’t seem bright from a distance, up close they are suns.
