The burn,
it shakes me
to my core-
Deeper, the
sharp end, digs
into my skin-
Pushing outward,
until I can see
the tip-
Clasping it,
makes me
jerk-
As the burn
scatters over
my skin, again-
Until, finally,
slowly, tediously
it is pulled free-
A dull ache
replaces the
intense burn-
Let the
healing process
begin-
©️Unapologetically Me
Unapologetic
