Some wounds hate to be healed.
Some fester like obstinate,
petulant children standing firm
on some principle, reasonable or not.
Some worsen in time and become
permanent sores on a crippled
psyche—the victim of acts of aggression
that were so abusive, so socially odious
(their malicious nature so pure)
that they are eternally unforgivable.
