Heal

Healing - the process of recovery.
Physical wounds heal relatively quickly,
Mental scars live with you forever.
Medicine for the mind is not easy to find,
So we resort to sticking plasters.
Each one holding on until the next bump or bruise.
We try to protect ourselves.
Shelter from a life of pain.
The problem is that to hurt is to feel,
Healing is merely the result.
And I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
