Poetic Excuses

Deep Wounds

I learned how deep I could go-
Before my legs felt like dough.

Infections have set in,
Because of my open skin.

I lost someone who helped hold a smile,
Despite his weak and elderly lifestyle.

So soon he shouldn't have gone,
Though I knew death was soon to dawn.

A good man was he,
Always laughing and sharing glee.

Deep wounds are perfect to hide your pain-
Just be sure to avoid certain veins.

My stupidity gives me self doubt.
Even my friends feel the need to point it out.

I try to be a good person and do some of what people say,
But everyone thinks it is them I need to obey.

A deep wound will leave a nasty scar,
But the stress it relieves will help you go quite afar.
