Healing isn't easy
It's not quick
It's a process

Like stitches
Bedded into one's arm
Once out, it stings like hell
But you can breathe  again

But sometimes
Infections brew
And the pain electrifies
It pulsates through your body
And you have to start again

And sometimes you'll
Find away around your scar
You'll touch it
And it will bleed
And it will burn

But one day
One day it won't hurt anymore

However, that scar still stays with you
It's part of you now
The pain that caused it
The frustration of it
It's still there
And it'll stay with you

But remember,
You healed.
