Wounds like Eyes

If the process of healing is like an onion

One layer of tears at a time
One more step towards the core

Then wounds are like eyes

They hurt when stung

They are the raw, vulnerable awakening

Of pain needing more work

Raw exposed and seen

Wound of black hurt

The pupil, the dark eye in the middle

A wound of pain surrounded by levels of anger, grief, torment, fear and betrayal

Like an eye

Today has been a wound day, completely unexpectedly

A trigger went deep

Rawness to the surface

Yet it helped me to see

To look at the pain again

And see, that I am not the pain

That i am powerful

That I am safe

That I am loved

And I am not in that place

Somehow for me, wounds help me to see

Help me to feel, a reminder to continue to be the new me

Wounds help me to see

See me for me now

See what I need

Wounds like eyes.
