Cicatrix

Hardening of the tissue creates callused flesh
Not strengthened but weakened, the lesion is a surface scar
Crystallized at the core, healing over the wound
Bruised inside the skull, hidden defect buried under bone
Traumatized, is this what reality is?
Too young to grasp the gravity of the calamity
Lingering effects could last for years and years
Who could know the difference, or just what might have been?
Will anything ever be the same again? When he grows how will he have to cope?
Will there be a loss of function? Tell us please do we have any hope?
How long before he is healed, how long before he is well?
How could this accident happen? Only turned around for a moment
Slowly heal, poor boy
Slowly heal, different
Slowly heal, poor boy
Slowly heal, he’s changed
