Stark All peel skin Frayed edges A thought quite Polished In the worser of ways. I had rubbed raw the idea And it had turned into a sorefar beyond blistering The skin was chaffed. Raw cut and open. How many times did I have to weave This thought through the coils of my brain To bruise and defame All of my sane? I must have thought I was dreaming To make such a terrible decision.
