this too shall pass....

And when
the cuts, the burns,
the breaks and pain
was never on my body
or in my mind
but in my soul
and hurt so bad,
I turn myself
inside out
to hide within me.
Fold up my legs tight,
thoughts buried deep
into the darkness
where you won’t find me.
But now my insides
touch the outside
and that feels even worse...



getting back up. getting back up.
