Don’t get over
Keep wounded
With just enough blood and heart
To function
To feel like you’re grounded
It’s better than healing
Cause you never heal anyway
Don’t get over
Stay within the field of fire
And if it burns you out
You’ve come too close
If it steels your heart
Your blend’s too cold
Keep wounded
We all live wounded
For most of our lives
It’s the care that matters
Not the cure
It’s the making you feel better
Not secured
Don’t get over
If your soul resists
If your mind persists
You’re not compelled to heal
As long as you don’t stain the whole river
Or make a flooding wave of your tears
So keep wounded
Feel alive,
Unrested
Follow the hand that brings direction, protection
Not the one that lends medication, salvation
Don’t get over
Keep wounded
With well enough blood and heart
To function,
To be founded.
