Wounds

compared to scars,
I'd rather have the wounds, anytime.

scars get on my nerves.
they make me see red.

having a scar
is
just
imagining
the
ride.

having a wound
is
the
experience
itself.

so I keep my wounds scar-free.
I put salt on my wounds and I feel overwhelmingly alive.
the euphoria is unexplainable
pain intolerable
tolerance unbearable.

it's a personal litmus test.

but that's how I learn,
on
what
kind
of
shit

I am truly made out of.

so I keep any wound I have fresh and free from healing.

because....


when a wound heals...

it's
just
a
lousy
euphemism
for
being


lifeless.
lame.
dead.


wounds are testaments
that
life,

as fucked up
as it is,

is still
a
ride
worth
riding.
