We all have bruises and hurts <br /> <br />Some cut in deeper than the rest <br /> <br />Scarring us forever <br /> <br />A gash, a scar, a bleeding scrape <br /> <br />Evoke immediate sympathy <br /> <br />And while they hurt, in the now <br /> <br />They fade away, pretty often <br /> <br />But other scars leave no signs <br /> <br />On our bodies, and yet <br /> <br />Hurt and gnaw at our soul <br /> <br />With unmarked bruises, painful forever<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unmarked-bruises/
