Some cuts are deep and don’t heal. Why do I hold onto things that I know will hurt me?

FIRST DRAFT:NO HARM
Cat jaw
Furried flat against my paw
Bushy bum buried
Within the indent of my arm
Uncleft, closed clawed, no harm

breathe it in,
another day has come.
I haven't perished yet,
so I press on.
For another moment,
another day.
To be better than I was yesterday,
just one more day.
