"Ever-present Metaphorical Bandages"
Too bad you can't look
past the damage
See the person
beneath the wreckage
The beautiful soul
with the scarred up skin
The mental disorder
that tells the story of Them.
You should never judge
lest you walk in their shoes
Remember always
that no one can choose
the people who surround them
in the life they're born into
And, once damaged . . .
they will forever be searching
for their emotional glue.
