Physical wounds will heal, but the emotional scars may last a life time.

So many are traumatised for life by war and/or parental abuse and the burden they carry often goes unnoticed and can lead to disaster of all kinds.

We need love, Nana, that is it: love that heals those wounds before they turn the heart bitter.

Love you,

Ingrid xx

A stunning little piece, beautifully written.
All the best.

Abuse of any kind is damaging. The physical the scars will fade but the mental and emotional will stick.we just have to cope with the best we can. Great write

Powerful poem indeed, that burden we try to figure out how to live with. How to give it up, how to let others in and help carry it.

Take care.
