If I indeed am nothing
Then please tell me why I bleed
A lash split across my side
I still feel it when I sleep
How deep the mark
It comes to be
I let it sink
Down into me
Why would I turn?
When all occurs
And all begot
Falls into nerves
The lowest point, forever’s woe
Inside me where I do no know
Deeper it goes
Not even hope
Could yet escape
The depths of me
A void between
all I’ve ever come to know
Will slip away
I seem to face the same morning
though I’ve shed all parts of me
So too the fears I did once dread
And Though by breadth I’m memory
It seems my cells do not forget
A wound encoded in tissue
A flaw forever burning clear
And All my waking moments learn how much it means
This finite hurt
Won’t define me
Below a rock I will defy
For seconds most I will be fine
Yet looking down
No hope escapes the fight in me
The scar outlasts my grasp in time
A downward slope I slip away to the divine
Finally free
As I have always dreamt to be
