I'm Hurt Is All
You may wonder why I act the way I do…
I’m hurt, is all.
I had hidden the wound
beneath thick bandages
of intellectualization;
But, today…
today, intellectualization and understanding
were taken away from me.
I no longer understand.
It is no longer possible for me to hide behind
walls of empirical masonry;
I am exposed.
The scarlet wound throbs
with fearful nakedness.
I am vulnerable.
Even the innocent brush of gentle hands
sends waves of anguish through my infected soul.
Still, I mustn’t scream so loud,
it frightens the sleeping, unborn Isaac.
Nothing to worry about, though;
Really.
But, if you’re wondering why I cringe the way I do…
I’m hurt, is all.

I am vulnerable.
We all are, I think... though the extent to which that becomes obvious is, perhaps, dependent on how adept we are at building walls and redirecting attention and one's willingness to admit as much - to oneself and/or to others.
I found this piece brave and quite powerful... the potency of it coming, to be honest, from having found it relatable (from the opening lines of the middle stanza, in fact) and for having considered that the pain would have to be overwhelming for me to move beyond the instinct to forego disclosure. I applaud your willingness to put this one the page and assure you that you are not alone here.
Well done!
