quirky

very viseral and raw expression of sheer unadulterated pain. Isn't it in the crucible that we sprout wings?

what an intriguing idea--rub-on skin thickeners---gee, if only I could invent that I would be a millionairess!

skin thickeners
ought to come with the sex talk when we turn from child to woman. Something we can rub on, so mean remarks, especially from lovers or other important folk, will bounce off, run off our skin like water off a duck's back. Invisible scars are the hardest to remove. Good work!

I am still very much a newbie when it comes to poetry, but I keep working on them anyway.

This is so very wonderful....really, really powerful. Clean, nothing wasted. I am very impressed. I wish I could write with such economy, yet such grace and emotion.

Quirky,

Really great job with this one. I always believed that words could do 100 times more damage than any physical pain. Shadow

Words that attack are definitely the scar makers
Strong, heartfelt poem Quirky.
