Healing

There are some deep wounds that never quite heal;
even those which you cannot touch or see,
you have to at least admit they are real.

Whether left upon your heart, mind, or heel,
whether they cause you greater pain or wee,
there are some deep wounds that never quite heal.

Perhaps you think you have learned how to deal,
yet even if you come through when it's key,
you have to at least admit they are real.

Without real healing, from yourself you steal
energy, strength, and power; and thusly,
there are some deep wounds that never quite heal.

Though conflict throws you on uneven keel,
ignoring pain does not mean you'll be free;
you have to at least admit they are real.

The soul must sport an emotional weal,
if the sole answer is the facts to flee:
there are some deep wounds that never quite heal;
you have to at least admit they are real.
