Written whilst listening to Solange: Don't touch my hair

by

My wound is dark
My wound is deep
My wound is disasterous 

My wound comes everywhere
My wound won't heal
My wound is my nightmare

My wound bleeds 
My wound cries 
My wound is infected 

My wound hurts
My wound seeps 
My wound wripped further

You can't see my wound 
I can feel my wound 
Nobody cares about my wound
