Physical wounds and scars fades away and heal in due time but those inflicted upon the mind will haunt every waking moment in ones life.

There are pains worse than others. Where the memories are kept fresh in the mind of the survivor,  they are the one's who wakes up each morning from a night of terror,  who screams in their sleep,  their history never leaving them in peace.

Then there are those who have fallen into the depths of numbness and unfeeling,  those who could care less about anything, those who have forgotten what's life true meaning. They live life like a passing blur,  like the wind but behind this is a more fragile mind;  so close to insanity. Simply not there yet almost.

Some others act normally but that's a lie. The pain reflects itself in moments of weakness if a memory suddenly arises but they do not cry and pretend that they are alright despite being in so much pain.

Then come those who had completely gone insane.  They care not for what they do. They shut out the world completely and  entrapping themselves in the world which they created  never letting anyone in.
A lie they had created for their own sake and protection.  Their insanity keeps them safe from the pain,  it keeps them occupied, despite all that they still scream in their sleep at night
