Your closed burn

TW (figurative mentions of scars, burns, and probably more????)

Ohhh chicken, where ist thou butt?

(Not sure what the above means??? I wrote it to get started and that's what got me to write so I left it for you to be as confused as me 💀😎😭)


Bright smile and laugh

Smooth hair and heart 

Warm eyes and thoughts 

Witty feet and tongue 

Why do I still remember you so

I tried so hard to forget, my obsession 

I thought they were gone

A deep abyss to swallow them all

But it spit them back out,

I guess it doesn't taste good?

Now their back soggy and old

But still bright as 24 carat gold

These heavy thoughts used to blind my thoughts 

But now I can drive, I know the rules

I can see 20/20, hindsight I guess

I can see what is shown but now what is hidden 

Who's shadows are covering it?

Yours or mine? 

Probably mine, my shadows seem to consume all

Emotions, thoughts, will, and all

Now you're red, your chosen style?

I can only watch, far or near

but never with

For with is dangerous, 

Last time I tried to get friends your fires burned bright 

Beautiful but scorching 

It took forever to feel normal, in heart or mind, 

Like a tree struck by lightning, it's always scared

My bark grew back, but if you know how to look...

I don't know what to write,

About me or about you,

Are you even real, anymore

Just a hollow sculpture I made while trying to heal my burns? 

The ones you made? 

Why do I still long for fire, in forge or heart!

It always always burns to bright,

blisters form and scars turn white

Please ohh friends,

Please ohh preacher,

Please ohh singer,

Please ohh father,

Please tell me

How do you heal a fully close wound?

"Maybe that's why the Chicken crossed the road!"

What? To start the poem, or find it's butt?

Also thanks again I felt good writing it.

@unassumingEyes

Honestly not a clue, maybe I just needed to start writing?

But seriously have you ever tried to figure where a chicken's butt is, like is it what they sit on or where their tail feathers come from?! Or the whole section connected the two??

I have seen and even held chickens in real life and still don't know!!! 😭😭

But yeah I think I just needed something elegant sounding to start writing

@7Bear7 There’s so much quiet desperation in those last words… May the wound that hurt you most close in peace and leave no scar behind, Bear <3

@7Bear7

Heads up, (not sure if it effects how it's read) the last line was supposed to be "how do you heal a fully closed wound" but auto correct is a nightmare for poetry, so it changed it to close which works, but is slightly different.

Better or worse that's your opinion not mine

But please help me bury this stupid auto correct dime
