Time Heals All Wounds

Predictable advice, the only kind that’s ever given I mean, is it true? Does time really heal all wounds? Because my wounds are still covered in scabs, Cracking around the edges And I’m still waiting for time to come and save me, But it hasn’t How could it be true, If time’s supposed to heal all wounds why haven’t mine healed yet? By now; My body should be covered in scars And my bones; Filled with bruises But instead, my wounds are still gaping - fluently bleeding around the surface So I guess it’s true, time hasn’t been in my favor Nor on the darkest days, the friendliest neighbor But time did teach me, the key to patience And how to be my own savior Time may not heal all wounds or even any at best, But it can still teach you, how to accept
