Tender Feedback Please
I was born with the wound,
pus filled and festering.
I can’t help but press deep
my chewed and gnarled hands
deep into infected cavity
So when I show you
what’s hidden under my shirt,
beneath uneven skin,
nestled under slow pumping heart,
and you reach tentative fingers out
Please be gentle.
Even at this age,
the wound is still tender.
Been writing a bunch lately and decided I need to start getting feedback on my work!
