Deeper Wounds
Unhealing
fractures splinter into deeper
mosaic veins of hurt, emerge
surface smiles, masking the bleeders
where silent cries resound, unheard
festering wounds remain un-healing
while careless fingers tear the flesh
from the wear of constant peeling
expose the scab where it was left
the words of consolation sting
when the lips they fall from lie
confessions spoken in disguise bring
another step towards goodbye

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

I’m with Sam. A lot of thought here.

You never really how deep wounds really go if they are emotional and sometimes even physical. Good job.
