Madness' Method; [The Stigmata]
by Rachelle Howe
only once i exposed
my skeletons for the benefit
of another
did i wake.
only after i peeled
back illusion's veil
did i stumble across
revelation.
only when i became blind
could i see the
method behind the madness...
only after the scales fell
could i understand the need
for the humiliating wounds...
He wears the scars
so we dont have to.
