How Long?

How long does it hurt like this? How long do I have to feel this way?

When do I start to feel like I'm a man again?

When do I stop being afraid to close my eyes? Afraid to open them? When do I stop being afraid of the dark?

When do my emotions stop leaking out like sweat? Fear sweat. Despair sweat. Rage sweat. How long till I stop feeling so raw? Like I'm missing layers of skin.

When do I feel safe again? Can I ever feel safe again?

Please, just tell me. How long before it stops?
