Wounds

Cancer will fester
Go into remission, then
Re-emerge stronger.

The worst wounds infect
Spread new wounds into the spaces
Where new cells should form.

The body and mind
Same organism, same waves,
More alike than not.

It is memory
That facilitates our growth
Under the lash of pain.

But hurt hides beneath
Our actions. It awakens,
Infects us with fear.

Past pain becomes a
Hereditary disease
Our future carries.
