There are some hurts that don't just go deep. 

They shatter

and pieces float around inside you, 

some just underneath the surface of your skin, 

where you can almost see them in your reflection. 

Some lodging in crevices you never knew you had 

and getting stuck there with their fresh sharp edges. 

And others saturate you, 

soak through 

and stain your soul, 

changing you 

like beautiful 

painful 

original 

art.
