“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.” – Laurell K. Hamilton

This is a difficult burden to bear.

To carry wounds that no-one sees or knows about.

To walk through life as a silent sufferer.

To feel you are one step removed from life.

It is so isolating. It’s a heavy load to bear.

And if this describes you, then I really feel for you.

For there are wounds that are too sacred to risk sharing with others

And the loneliness compounds all the sadness and the pain.
