so easy to forget
for those who do not
feel deeply
for those who cannot
extract empathy
for those who are so
self absorbed
for those stuck
in infancy
for those wielding all the
sharp objects
for those delivering
every stab
so easy to remember
with the constant reminders
open wounds
bandages
scars
and that shiny blade
sliding in and out
I will press on and try to view the world as a safe place through the eyes of my beautiful and amazing children.
