Name: Scars
Brand: William Owens

As a poet, I pour my heart into crafting expressions of hope, love, and forgiveness—words shaped and inspired by God’s divine Spirit. Each line I write is an offering, meant to uplift, to resonate deeply, and to remind every reader that they are held by a love far greater than their circumstances. My desire is not only to share these truths but also to guide others toward discovering God’s presence in their own lives—an intimate, personal place where His whispered words settle gently into the soul He designed with intention and care.

I feel called to teach, to encourage, and to help others recognize the beauty of God’s love as it unfolds within their everyday experiences. Through poetry, I seek to open a doorway to reflection, renewal, and spiritual awakening, where the heart is restored and the spirit is strengthened.

I invite you to join me on this journey of rediscovery—a journey shaped by Spirit and grounded in truth. Together, let us explore poetry as a sacred gift, a divine language through which God speaks to each of us. May these words inspire you, comfort you, and lead you to the quiet places where His voice becomes unmistakably clear.

The Collection

We hide behind forced smiles and uneven walks, copying the crowd while the original design we were made to be remains buried under layers of expectation."Authenticity" is a clarion call to dismantle the imitation. It is a challenge to step beyond the "dressing up" of our souls and embrace the painful, beautiful process of unearthing the truth. It is a journey toward realizing that being yourself isn't something you achieve through effort, but something you receive through the providential gift of Grace.Step out of the mime-life. Embrace the original. Discover your true face.<blockquote>"Authentic is calling me to be me / Is exposing the me that's not / Is measuring me with the original I'm made to be... / To face my face without the gloss / To erase the smile forced by thoughts / Not original - not me."</blockquote>

In that search for "more," we unknowingly step into the trap of codependence. It is a soul-level addiction that leads to a realm of despair, depression, and a false identity that masks who you truly are.This poem is a mirror. It reveals the "grotesque creature" of offense and pretense that we allow to etch itself onto our hearts. It exposes the drug-like desperation for validation that separates us from the only love that truly matters: God’s.Prepare to have the vice-like grip loosened. If you are tired of the confusion and the "soul addiction" state of mind, this poem will guide you back toward the truth that sets you free.<blockquote>"Holding me in a vice-like grip of a soul addiction state of mind / Causing me to be tied to another soul of an opposite kind / With drug-like delirious desperation fueled by an agitation..."</blockquote>

Codependence

Scars capture the pain and deeply hidden results of unforgiveness towards those who hurt us. It identifies the only solution for scars to heal.
