Open wounds are bleeding cuts exposed to the sun Caused by a knife or a scratch from a run They are lines on the skin that fade after a while At least that is what it is in people’s mind files But sometimes blood is not the only thing that flows Sometimes tears or numb expressions are the only thing that’s shown Sometimes they are not simple lines that just fade away For some they run deep, they are there to stay Some wounds feel sharp like a knife on skin But to some those wounds are short moments of relief, heaven Compared to the wounds inside their head Telling them that they are worthless, they are better off dead If people look on the inside they will realize, they will find Not all open wounds mark the body, they can also mark the mind

Open Wounds
Open wounds are bleeding cuts exposed to the sun Caused by a knife or a scratch from a run They are lines on the skin that fade after a while At least that is what it is in people’s mind files But sometimes blood is not the only thing that flows Sometimes tears or numb expressions are the only thing that’s shown Sometimes they are not simple lines that just fade away For some they run deep, they are there to stay Some wounds feel sharp like a knife on skin But to some those wounds are short moments of relief, heaven Compared to the wounds inside their head Telling them that they are worthless, they are better off dead If people look on the inside they will realize, they will find Not all open wounds mark the body, they can also mark the mind
Starting off poetry month 2022 with the prompt: open wounds. TW: there are mentions of sicide and slf h*rm so be mindful of that when reading.
