Soul scarred with unforgettable lessons Memories burned into the very essence of self Physical pain cannot compare to the sting of psychological wounds. Lacerations deeper than any blade could cut Abrasions festering with rank infections Infections of spirit and mind. Subconscious struggles revealed in my dreams Where repressed memories and fears roam free Where the demons frolic and poke at sore gashes Gashes that pour blood drowning me in sorrow Sorrow that hacks me into thousands of pieces Thousands of pieces that will never be whole.
