Uncovering scars unknown
A vestige of a darker time
When we farmed our wounds like livestock
More nourished than we ever were
Are we all just vessels?
I'm peeling flesh again
Bloodletting over sacred texts
The silver spoon of indulgence salutes
As we fall short of our virtues
Are we all just vessels for our deeper pain?
I am not just my trauma
I am not just my scars
It's a piece of me, not foundational
Inch by wretched inch
Falter by falter
I will reach the surface
I will learn to heal
