Beyond the Damage Done
Looking upon smooth skin
Astounding how seamless
This puppet is in appearance
Though I know the secrets mending behind thin folds
A patchwork of stitches
Running along the body like a wild river
In scar tissue there is so much strength
A mouthful of blood
The crazed smile of realization that there is nothing left to be
broken
Eyes blackening towards my attackers
“Come get more of me!”
Piercing into the confrontation
Like teeth into soft, raw meat
Astounding how seamless
This puppet is in appearance
Though I know the secrets mending behind thin folds
A patchwork of stitches
Running along the body like a wild river
In scar tissue there is so much strength
A mouthful of blood
The crazed smile of realization that there is nothing left to be
broken
Eyes blackening towards my attackers
“Come get more of me!”
Piercing into the confrontation
Like teeth into soft, raw meat
