There are scars on my body and I do not remember their stories...

There are scars on my body and I do not remember their stories
Imprints of yesteryear
Distinguishing me from other passing bodies
I am just a storyboard
Nothing less, nothing more
Just an imprint of the past •

Most people do not remember every moment of their lives; we only remember the important things. So it amuses me that I have many scars on my body - most of which I acquired in childhood - and I have no memory of when and how they happened.

There is quite a story to tell, and I do not know the plot. Humorous. •
