Poem: my scar is bigger than your scar

[tahariel]

Let’s compare scars.

Like a childhood game -

My Mum cooks better than your Mum.

My Dad’s car is bigger than your car.

My scar is bigger than your scar,

it is

immeasurable, a well

of agony and wretched poison,

unhealed and unkissed;

where once the skin was smooth and taut

it now lies twisted and a mess

of rigid lines and bitter disappointments

quite unlike

Oh the comparison game. Ouch.
