Afraid

It's not pain I fear,
It's the healing, that I do.

It's not the wounds I fear,
But the scars rooted through

It's not the bleeding I fear,
I'd rather bleed than remain,

In shreds of myself,
All my hope gone in vein

So cut me if you may,
I mind not the pain,

I fear the scars after,
And the memories that remain

So what am I really?
Strong or rather weak?

I may withstand the pain,
But not the healing I seek

So I'd rather you cut me,
Again and again,

But dare you not leave me,
To heal alone, out in this pouring rain
