Not the wounds
That need healing
Not the slurs
That keep repeating
The cuts
Still bleeding
What lies within
Inside, beneath
That lurks
Unending.
Not the many
Apologizing
None the
Less, never ceasing
The lesions
Embedded, scarring
What lies without
Abandon, garish, loud
A tempest
Quotidian, constant
Unyielding.
