damages paid?
who paid?
them?
they never will
settle that bill
black and blue
turns to yellow
eventually disappears
bruises to the mind however
are scars for years and years
do your own work
put soul at ease
forgiveness is
your inner peace
the screams are muffled
the fear is stifled
then you move away
but you bring it all there with you
until you break— away
do your own work
put soul at ease
forgiveness is
your inner peace
they sleep at night
you don’t
might be time to
cut that rope
and— free yourself
damages paid
in full
by you
