A FEELING BY JASEN SOUSA

A FEELING


Scars cover every surface
of my body.
I am only a teenager,
but I feel like I’m forty.

I look in the mirror daily
to see if they heal.
Blood covers my face, my hands,
imagine how I feel.

Thoughts of entering an early grave
float through my mind.
When they do an autopsy
there will be nothing left to find.
