This is just a muse on the word jagged for the contest. The SOS is there for poetic reasons. No heroes required.

Some thoughts sail through Others cut a jagged path Snagging on innocent brain cells Serious damage can be done Obviously invisibly Shouting for help pointless Sentience comes with downsides Overthinking and ruminating Soothing from another not always an option So, time heals Only if the damage stops though Self-imposed life sentence

Wow the SOS is also within the poem's energy. Is this about cutting a form of self abuse? This is engaging and enlightening of dilemma's hold and perhaps release.

SOS was accidentally the first stanza so went with it. Just about spiky thoughts that feel like they are upsetting the rest of the brain that was quite happy till that point x
