40th Psalm

Raw & Grated
Callous, Ripped & Torn
Still hanging by a patch, attached

Broken & Beaten
Smashed, Snapped & Thrown
Crawling back to the mire, liar

Cool - Moist - Thick
Seems to soothe
Harden it will and begin
Callous anew, grew

Was there - Ready to go
Move but stayed
Hardened, Hurt & Handicapped, Sapped
