I bleed wounds that I do not even see.
Wounds that go deeper in time than my own memories.
I weep, cry, scream for help. No one seems to hear.
Their ignorance echoing too loud in the ears.
Let it go… Try to forget about it.
As though I haven't done that before and failed. Repeatedly. Almost daily.
So I stop. All the weeping, crying, screaming.
I stop and look down at my bloody wounds. Red and fresh anew.
Subtle pieces of art that have turned lovelier too.
They stare back, kicking in some bravery within me.
I'm happy. Free. Not in pain anymore.
When I finally take that step. Like floating down in the cold air.
