Asking the universe to hear my pain

I forgot that

For most

Seeing is believing

Keeping the peace is not the same

As ending war

My body is the battleground

Taking blunt injuries

So I don't leave too many scars

To make everyone else

Feel comfortable in their own skin

While I trap the pain inside

So nobody can hear a sound

Until now

When the internal bleeding

Has finally

Hemorrhaged

Has finally

Pooled into every crack

Bursting open

Hoping the universe will hear it.
