I actually wrote this in '93. lithiumandweed's recent post scared to life(moments of desperation), reminded me of it. Pain I hurt all over. Inside and out. Internal bleeding from emotional wounds long past. External pain from physical expression of self-hatred. Lie about the scars outside, and never tell about the inside. What they don't see will never stop hurting me. What they do see will heal, and my body, at least, will be whole again. I wish all the pain would be so easily banished.
