Time to open these old sores
Pour salt on them once more
Allow them to heal entirely
Give myself back to me

This has a deep profoundness to it. Sometimes when we lose ourselves, it hurts to find the one we lost.
Short, but extremely well done.

wow you hit the nail right on the head. This poem is about emotional scars. Someone IM'd me and wanted to know what the hell I was talking about
I thought it was just poorly written since I was cursed with clears throat
Thanks for all the encouragement

YES! You owe yourself the liberty of looking back to learn and not repeat! Healing is a process. Rushing the process lends itself to scars. Let nature take its defined passage and all will be well. You are a splendid young woman and writer, know that as fact, and move forward. I love you little sis', and am glad that that "block" is now removed forevermore. I have not had the experience of the so-called "writers' block". I can't relate. Every situation in life is a new reason to write, for me. Let the force of the pen be your therapy, and good keep, it has always been mine. Stay strong. You know where I am!

Now I understand the concept of opening old sores and administering medicine to allow them to heal completely. Metaphorically speaking those "Old Sores" are like past relationships that have no completely healed or we have not gotten over yet and by opening them up and pouring salt on them, salt being medicine then and only then can we allow the healing to begin. A very wise thought and a great way to heal old wounds. PS. Hope your writers block is cured soon.

Chris I've missed you! Hope all is well.
This piece is incomplete. I am suffering from writer's block at the moment. So many thoughts in my head I cannot pen. Enough to drive a sane woman mad and really how much is there left to say after 'give myself back to me'?
Thanks for commenting

I haven't gotten much positive feedback on this write. People are asking me what the hell I'm talking about Healing begins with opening old sores and puttin gmedicine on them and allwoing them to heal properly. Only then can the scars from the past vanish. Take time with yoursel sis

Short and sweet. This seems like it was a poem that was started, but was never finished. It gets the point across all right, but it seems unfinished.
Revisiting old "sores" is always hard to do, but sometimes it is needed. And I've found that, when I do revisit them, it makes me a better person. Things will get better.

It has always been difficult for me to let old wounds heal. Maybe that is because I am a risk taker in all the wrong ways. I think of myself as being the worst enemy I have because my soul is so full of pessimism instead of the hope that I actually need. I am not at a point where I feel I am strong enough to emerge from the box yet, but there will be one day when I will have to, and currently I am just biding my time until that happens!
It is hard not to just lay back and take whatever blows are thrown your way, especially if defeat is all you seem to experience.
I am hoping it gets better.
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora

you are so sweet and right on the money! Yes we can be our own worse enemies, I am trying not to be mine, are you yours? We need to learn how not to accept defeat. This is about healing from the inside to erase the scars on the outside. Thanks for such a kind and loving comment
Love you

~give myself back to me~ That says more than many will even understand. Often times no matter who has brought us to the place we are we are the only things holding us back. We hide the true 'me' in a box to protect ourselves. We can only let 'me' out when we are good and ready to give it a chance. We can hide forever but will we ever really live? Stand strong and know you have us here and we love you ~ atleast I do
