Wounded Healer
Bullets of pain running a marathon through my chest
racing wondering which is going to kill me first
hitting against an invisible wall with blood filled bruises on my fists
in my mind I'm thinking is this that bad or am I just throwing fits
that's what life's objective is
to make me feel less than life itself
like a book buried on a dusty shelf
unnoticed
screaming to be read
to be given a chance to live
being read makes it feel alive
the loneliness that it was punished with
I can feel in my every being
because I can relate
trying my level best because I hate to feel hate
I'm sure the feeling will die
I will kill it off before it's late
I'm a wounded healer
I no longer want to feel
this way, with time my wounds heal I pray..
