I walk like an open wound

By Hafsa Ahmed

I Walk like an open wound 

But I carry scars inside me

No one can see unless I let them 

I walk like an open wound 

Because of the trauma 

I fail to hide 

I walk like an open wound 

Who people consider stupid 

And forget 

Because of the importance and care I bestow them with 

I walk like an open wound 

Because I loved the people 

Who didn't need and deserve my love 

I walk like an open wound 

For the words I hear 

Pierce deeper in my heart than any knife would 

I walk like an open wound 

Because of the longness 

I've endured to be simply

Loved and believed 

I walk like an open wound 

And try not to hurt others 

Because I choose to hurt myself over someone else 

I walk like an open wound 

Fir I am selfless and love too

Carelessly 

I walk like an open wound 

Hiding deep secrets within me 

Not wanting to be disclosed 

For the fear 

I walk like an open wound 

For the wounds in me didn't heal even though time has passed and continue to passes
