Raw

Scrape
Drag
Pull
Not enough to draw blood
Just until it’s all raw
Until the burn on my arm
Hurts more than the flame in my heart
Til the pain in my existence
Is no longer at the fore.
Then scrape, drag, and pull some more.

I understand this poem all to well. Well written.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
