What would you say to the part of you that hurts the most?
injuries are easily spotted.
people are quick to diagnose
and fix once it's identified.
healing feels certain.
a cast for a broken bone,
a band-aid for a cut.
but there is no prescription for what i carry.
a quiet, persistent ache i cannot trace.
sometimes i crave to see red,
a tangible proof that i am hurting, too.
maybe it would be easier to mend
if my wound held a shape,
rather than this lingering shade of blue.
