Piano wire

Uncleaned fish hook 

deviates the membrane

Have I been weighted with heavy irons?

As head ache inducing as tightly scraped hair

Every thought becomes a word gone limp

No movement but I am nervous

Like I'm in a fragile body, 

Picking at the trenches in my skin

Hunching over 

Pulling a jumper over my head, nervous

Blackness fills my ears

Cigarettes stamped out on my heart

Blisters come but they will burst.

I can only hope I'm not found unsightly

Torn or bloated by the winds of decay

years of emotional and mental scars can definitely make our heart seem pretty unsightly...all that pain causes much decay.
