Why yes I am.

But it’s not just trauma wear,

Its a body built different.

Each slip, fall, beat down,

Exponentially impacting my flesh sense.

Built from birth,

Thinner skinned than most…

The pain was more than

But I never knew,

So I pushed right through,

Accumulating injuries,

That would never heal,

See not all bodies are made to.

Some of us don’t make proper scar tissue…

Leaves me wondering:

If that extreme pain isn’t made up

And is here to stay,

What of the damage done

Mentally?

Do my feelings also not heal as efficiently?

They do correlate higher depression rates,

For people like me,

Born of constant deficiency.

Maybe my goal to heal,

Was pointless all along,

As each effort made,

Seems only dig me deeper.
