Do Wounds Heal?

Do Wounds Heal?

They say time heals all wounds. But is that true? Or is that something we tell our friends, loved ones & ourselves to make them & us feel better?

Yes! Some wounds do heal, but what about the deep ones? Like betrayal, losing someone close or unrequited love? Can time heal those? Also, how much time does it take? 

Do we really heal? Or do those wounds just scab over? Leaving a hideous scar on our souls, all the while we're hemorrhaging internally, dying a slow death. Putting on a fake smile to the world, cause no one could truly understand what we're feeling. Just thinking about what scarred you, bringing tears to your eyes. That lump forming in your throat. All those feelings come rushing back, crashing over you like a tidal wave. Feeling like you're pushed back to square one, to "get over it" once again.

Most would say "Well, you're making the choice to wallow in that pain". Maybe. It's possible. Or am I being honest about what we're afraid to admit? It's true some of us are much stronger than others & better at masking our pain. But even the strongest person can only be so fucking strong for so fucking long. We all eventually break down, lose faith, question who we are & cry out "How much more shit do I have to take?" The last thing you wanna fucking hear is "Time heals all wounds". 

No! What'll happen is you'll internalize that pain & try not to think about it anymore. Another deep gash in the amour. Hoping this one isn't the one that kills you.
