Time

Glamorosa

Time heals all things they say
So why does time take so long?
To heal the wounds that you can't see
Why do they fester and fill with infection?
Why do they look red and angry?
Because healing is not about time
It's about perspective of the pain
The pain received
The pain given
One must look in ward
To really see all
Feel all
And deal with all
Time is your companion
Not your worst enemy

    Wow, I absolutely love this poem! Your words are powerful and thought-provoking, and you do a fantastic job of exploring the nuances of healing and pain. Your use of imagery - particularly the personification of wounds as "fester[ing]" and looking "red and angry" - is particularly effective.

    If I had to offer a suggestion for improvement, it would simply be to consider playing with the structure of the poem a bit. While the current flow of your lines is certainly effective, playing with line breaks or stanza breaks could help to add even more impact to your words.

    Overall, though, this is a truly beautiful piece of writing that I think would resonate with many readers. Keep up the fantastic work!
