Assaulted Caring

Brian Baruch

busy staying busy another day hammering all the healing away push it down, deep deep down the highs, eventually letdown buried where the voice breaks out trading in shame swallowing doubt where tension runs extra thick choking your inner child sick hammer, hammer, hammer and move busy, being busy, gathering to prove the pain, the pain, anesthetizing hurt gets so cold as you stop realizing so so cold and far from healing memories betray authentic feeling soreness is tenderness coercing stillness retaliating for misplacing forgiveness
