Time will heal your wounds????

ignorance consumes your being
as your eyes fill up with tears
a decade in a nightmare
caught in your deepest fears.

A life thats filled with violence
a weathered body the result
a brain repeats the process
and covers wounds in salt

enough to split the stitches
old scabs begin to bleed
but unscared remains your body
internally indeed.

medication slows the mood swings
keeps the sanity far away
for a second makes you smile
removes the clouds that fill your day.

Thank you. I really enjoyed reading this writing. It speaks of the agony of mental illness. Well written.

i like this writing, its dark, and accentuated with imaginative detail, clear imagery and good rhymes,
the emphasize draws out more and more depth with each sentence in a smooth rolling motion,
lending reflection to the overall intended emotional introspect, which defines the meaning,
and that being, does time heal all wounds, when emotional turmoil remains constant, thanks for sharing
