marble summit
One suffers more by self,
Than the hurt caused by others.
Scratching a healing wound
Is what one does to oneself,
Whether wound may be physical
Or it may be psychological.
These chains that bind oneself,
Are merely an illusion,
Created by one's own mind.
One repeats thoughts,
Again and again
Again and again,
And causes self harm,
Through repeated scratching
Of the healing wound.
