My Soul Needs Healing

Can that moment hurry up?
Can the instance where we let go
Heal
forgive
And flourish
Could it materialise into something I can see
And feel
And know
Instead of cutting my hands
holding shattered pieces of my soul
Spelling out the maze of blemishes in my mind
I need obnoxious
and vigorous change
any residue of stagnant
It is ostracized
I'm just trying to make it happen now
