some of us
have lived in a horror show
so much hurt
in places
that are deep
and no human
can reach
the pain is always there
reminding you
of how the sting reappears
and resurfaces
coming and going
with intermittent numbing
it stays quiet
and awakes when triggered
but there's that secret place
in your mind
where nothing else exists
and music plays
the pain disappears momentarily
and the part of you untouched
is always here hiding
in the secret place
