Wounds
My life is hanging on a thread
At a point where people make me feel more like a puppet then person
I feel more dead than alive
My heart paper thin
And covered in holes
Some can be filled
And some of them I don't expect them to ever be filled
I will never be complete
The wounds from my past fail to heal
Because they are being reopened in the present
With little regard to how I may feel
Some of the wounds being expanded by people who don't seem to care
About if what they're saying will affect me
I try to heal myself
But the wounds are growing faster than I can heal them
My heart craves the love of the people who should love me
But does not want to accept their love at the same time because they are the ones
Who hurt me
Who tore my heart into pieces
Who created my wounds
