Paper cuts on wrist linger:
like trickles of pain,
bearable to hold;
with trickle of tears,
little to be told.
Invisible abrasions:
on skin so precious,
patches of triumph;
the battle rages on,
wince at every sting.
Unnecessary bandages:
don't elevate pain,
hide struggles under;
to embrace each scrape,
takes more than courage.
Petroleum jelly helps:
fingertips cover,
dollops to ease itch;
sometimes humans need,
catalysis to heal.
hello. this is for those who are struggling. you are not alone, please seek someone, or something to help the healing process. healing takes time and, most of the time, not necessarily need to be done alone.
