Healing

When does healing begin? When do we know we've been healed?

The wounds of childhood

Warfare

Internal pain

Buried deep

Yet

A clear reflection

Of a wounded child

Broadcast loudly

For others to see

Yet

Kept hidden

Those wounds are too deep

Blindfold the eyes

Wear a mask

Cloak in the shadows

Yet

The wounds are visible

For all to see

Hidden in the darkness

Is me

Yet

Swallowed in the darkness

Those childhood wounds

Remain inside

Exposed

For all to see

When does healing begin? When do we know we've been healed?

The pain so deep

Raw

Reopened throughout life

The little things

Ignored

Create the crack

Unseen at first glance

Exposes

The foundation

To external influences

Eroding away

The once stable

Foundation

When does healing begin? When do we know we've been healed?

Tear it down

Build it up

Rip out the bad

Fill it with good

Move it around

Hidden or

Exposed

It sill remains

A linger that remains

In the air

A breeze not felt

A sound unheard

A feeling

Not felt

It's in the air

Hidden

Yet

Exposed

Those childhood

Wounds

Are felt

From the crack

That exposes 

Those deepest

Fears

Felt in our

Youngest years

Forever haunt

Throughout 

New wounds

That attach

And grow

From that

Childhood wound

Which hasn't healed
