bruised brain

my brain-
it must be speckled
with bruises and holes
scattered deep and wide
across it's soft
vulnerable surface

chipped edges
lining fragile veins
dents and valleys
marks and scars
full of broken, damaged parts

it's sure been knocked around
beaten up inside my head
it's been abused
but it's still alive
still bleeding
and still
fighting

if I could see its shape
outlined on a screen
I wonder
how disfigured would it be?
