Have You Been Hurt?


Have you been hurt?
That kind which heaves your chest,
Like there’s a giant iron ball on it,
That makes breathing a chore?

Have you been hurt?
That kind which makes you shed buckets of tears,
Like there’s a well inside of you,
That makes crying unstoppable?

Have you been hurt?
That kind which makes you scream in silence,
Like there are shards in every nerve,
That makes even the softest whisper painful?

Have you been hurt?
That kind which even the littlest of the little things,
Reminds you of everything, refreshes the wounds,
And again, feels the stinging stabs of yesterdays?

Have you?
Been Hurt?
