Aching veins transmit liquid life to extremities Warm and flowing, contrasting the cold metal interior Sensitive to the electric current containing many memories My sense of self shattered on the wall, became inferior Scars are carved, reactions never reach the root of issues The cause is now unknown, minds wander when alone I remember the breaking and discoloring of the tissue Thought my art dead and ****** with the displacement of the bone I hid my wounds at first and now a cross marks them boldly Embrace my daily pain, forget my future without motion Temperature change controls my ways private burn or cold and lonely Two repair attempts, a weakened state can’t stop devotion Now I feel the hardened layer hidden in me from the air Once frail now muscled and accustomed to the feeling When I’m overcome by troubled thoughts I stop and store them there My place of pain becomes my place of healing
