Wounded I bleed<\/p>\n
I feel the warm blood<\/p>\n
As it slides down my body<\/p>\n
To drip onto and mingle with<\/p>\n
The dirty floor<\/p>\n
It is not new to me<\/p>\n
It is a slice wound<\/p>\n
Inflicted by my enemy<\/p>\n
Using different tools<\/p>\n
Whenever the wound begins<\/p>\n
To heal<\/p>\n
He cuts it again<\/p>\n
Pain mortifies my body<\/p>\n
And my mind<\/p>\n
Oh no, I had hoped<\/p>\n
It was gone<\/p>\n
But the wound is open<\/p>\n
Again<\/p>\n
Then he taunts me<\/p>\n
During this life<\/p>\n
I will be his prey<\/p>\n
He puts the knife back in<\/p>\n
And turns it<\/p>\n
Then he again hisses<\/p>\n
A dreaded accusation<\/p>\n
Useless<\/p>\n
For so many reasons<\/p>\n
Useless<\/p>\n
I begin to sink<\/p>\n
I cower away<\/p>\n
I shrink back<\/p>\n
My mind reels<\/p>\n
Yet, this time<\/p>\n
This time is different<\/p>\n
Oh, I have been sliced<\/p>\n
But I no longer believe<\/p>\n
The accusations<\/p>\n
I set aside the pain<\/p>\n
To believe a truth<\/p>\n
To believe The Truth<\/p>\n
Truth that heals and soothes<\/p>\n
A product of enduring love<\/p>\n
Whispering to my soul<\/p>\n
Singing in my heart<\/p>\n
Reality in my mind<\/p>\n
Is this Truth<\/p>\n
Surpassing the sensation<\/p>\n
Of the slice<\/p>\n
Blocking the sounds<\/p>\n
Of accusations<\/p>\n
I am loved<\/p>\n
On that final day<\/p>\n
Only that will matter<\/p>\n
I have value to Him<\/p>\n
If the world casts me aside<\/p>\n
It is His estimation of me<\/p>\n
That sustains me<\/p>\n
Forever<\/p>\n
