What would you say to the part of you that hurts the most?
That's the thing.
What part of me hurts?
All of it.
Where do I start?
What do I say to the hands
that wipe away my tears?
What do I say to the arms
that feel the pain of a blade?
What do I say to the stomach
that is begging for nutrients?
What do I say to the shoulders
that hold so much weight?
What do I say to the heart
That keeps me alive?
What do I say to my brain
that keep these thoughts locked up tight?
My whole body is what hurts the most.
