Isn't it extraordinary
how our bodies are easily healed
when it comes to breaking our skin
how it repairs itself in a matter of days,
yet when it comes to internal pain
there are no true remedies.
It’s not like skin
where the scars fade after a while
instead inside,
let’s say the heart
or the lungs
it’s impossible to breathe the same way as before
to have your heart beat like before
natural like a bird fluttering its wings?
Instead that scar that should fade stays forever
you have to carry it around with your
heart beating irregularly
it makes no sense
how we are extraordinary at healing our wounds
on the outside.
