Euphoria
I don't have scars
I've never felt the tension
and the sweet release
a surprise so pure
and innocent
Breaking the surface
raw, primal pain
sharp breaths
Tangy, coppery
powerful
So much warmth
from inside me
Warmth I didn't know
I had— spilling out and
spreading
Across my hands
down my arms
pooling in my lap
hazing my vision
Another line
symmetrical
parallel
The only thing I can control
power shaking in my right hand
trembling in my left
No,
I don't have scars
that you can see
