Answer

Finally, at the last minute, I received the last piece of the puzzle.
Faced with the answer after all this time, I am humbled. 
A wave of bittersweetness is emerging, along with remorse,
yet that is not the point of what all of this journey.

Yes, recognize that everyone carries a blue scar, 
but how each person carries it varies.
Those who dream a brighter world and climb the ladder
need not make an excuse for those who sit and despair by the mark. 

My dear, witness this person! 
Learn from this brave heart and strive to overcome your own. 
You have been graced with their living presence,
so strive to build the bright dream you have promised.
