&quot;You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust i&#039;ll rise&quot; - unknown<br /> &quot;no matter how far you go down the wrong path, you can always turn back&quot;<br /> &quot;once you hit rock bottom, theres nowhere to go but up&quot;

A bandage will not suffice,
Nor a suturing needle and thread,
A gaping, bleeding wound,
That refuses to leave me dead.
A cast will be to no avail,
Not even if it’s taped.
It’s tough to mend a heart
After it’s been raped.
No pressure will cease the bleeding,
No pills will end the pain.
Nothing will heal a damaged heart
That breaks again and again.
