Wall of Hurt
by Glenn CurrierI am amazed
but I know not why (knowing me)
how hurt closes me off
sews me up
amputates my heart
from people I’ve loved.
It seems I cannot get by
the rage she vomited on me
what she called me
her shocking condemnations.
Rage cuts deep
wounds heal slow
if at all.
Then I find out how she felt hurt and betrayed
when I changed and detoured
because someone betrayed me.
But I am glad for those detours
where I discovered other worlds
and became more than I was.
I am amazed
but I know not why (knowing me)
how hurt can remake
and occasion my transformation,
how the bad can become the good
If I am patient enough
and work hard enough
to find
or make
cracks in that wall. 08/23/2018 Posted on 08/23/2018

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 08/25/18 at 03:02 PM You've expressed so well how words leave their marks on us. I like this exploration and how you repeat the "I am amazed" lines, tying this all together and giving us some positive resolution at the end. Thanks, Glenn. |
