Invisible Wounds Struggle
 
Some wounds are not visible
To either you and not for me
Even though they are there
Scars that continuously fester
 
Deep within a person’s soul
Fragility broken repeatedly
The undying, endless want
To stop the pain endlessly
 
Survival living hid the inside
To bury the horrible memory
Claws of endless struggle
What can numb this ill sensory?
 
Physical hurts ne’er subside
No medicine; nor a bandage
Will comfort the distraught
A searing throb from bondage
 
Who can nullify what happened?
Who will erase the horribleness?
What form of solitude will occur?
That will comfort the brokenness?
 
A reliving of events long gone
Sensations override any strength
To cover-up what was buried
Which keeps gnawing in length?
 
What is it that can truly console?
The tidal sobs are gaining action
Other people may see the tears
But will never know its causation
 
My scars have no shape or size
But they have emotions full of
Despair, anguish, ‘n anxieties
Who can overcome this with love?
 
Is it possible to overcome the
Years of innocence lost and gone?
The endless battle of inner fight!
When will it be over and done?
 
They tell me I have a gift to give
How can I accept this when I
Have a hard time accepting it?
Struggle is surviving this life; Why?
