In Need of Healing

Fri, 01/20/2017 - 23:57 -- my

Something stings

Oh yeah, that one

I remember that wound

How did I get it? I don’t remember anymore

But it still throbs

 

I’ve been running for the past year and longer

Now that I’m collapsed on the dirt

And the adrenaline is wearing off

The hurt is starting to hit

 

My whole body aches

Some of the wounds are gone

But the pain remains

Why is that?

 

Those wounds have been there for so long

Why haven’t they healed yet?

Right, because I don’t want to see the doctor

I think I can handle it on my own

 

I’m foolish

I should go to the Doctor

He would know how to heal me

Because I can’t heal myself.
