a thousand little hurts

i've tried to forget 

i have, believe me 

but still my past, 

where i came from,

what i hoped and believed and begged,

still haunts me 


it clings to my skin

like beads of sweat

like scars 

like ink 


and everyday i fear 

that they'll see it on me 

and know 

that i have left behind 

some crucial human part of me

when i left a past full of a thousand little hurts
