Tear

Tear

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Tear

Sometimes we can tear
We can rip off pieces 
Of ourselves as we go
Along wounding and
Tearing ourselves as we
Go along the jagged 
Twisted roads of life
It can be easy to pick 
Up these tears and rips
Leaving scars across
Our bodies and scars
In our minds as we 
Move along in life
If they are really deep
They can begin to tear
Over and over again as
We continue to take 
Damage and hardships
Never truly healing our
Tears and our wounds
We can just keep
Reopening the same old
Wounds and not knowing
How to get rid of the pain 
That keeps building up
Inside that they can't 
Control the pain and the
Hurt and the internal scars
That keep breaking and 
Bleeding as we try to find
Different ways to bandage 
Our own wounds
Unfortunately we often
Choose the wrong things
To try and heal our pain
Or heal our scars and we
Can ultimately end up
Hurting ourselves more
In the process trying to
Stitch ourselves back 
Together again from 
The mess that our
Lives can easily become
But the only thing that 
Can heal any scar is love
Love heals all wounds both
Physical and emotionally
And especially spiritual
It is the only thing in life
That can completely heal
Everything if we allow it
We just have to be willing
To seize and find that inner
Well of love and peace
And healing inside of 
Ourselves to truly set
Ourselves free from
The pain and the scars
And all of the restrictions
That come from holding
On to those scars and 
Allowing them to build
Over time until the pain
And scars can become 
All we will ever know

I had a feeling you might appreciate this one.
We are the only ones that can heal ourselves, that is sometimes harder than it seems. Beautiful poetry, filled with honesty and truth.

Thank you. The hidden message is that I am referring to God or Jesus's love that can heal all wounds.. read more

Thank you
The remedy is forgetting...
forgetting a favor done unto onesefl is ok..
forgetting injustice to oneself is ok...
forgetting what ones ambition was is ok..
forgetting what one did to thers good or bad is ok..
everything is ok...
when you forget...
you are you..
it is ok..
