it helped the pain but
woulden't hide the bruises
no matter how she
begged
makeup coulden't cover it so
she skipped class, remembering
last time she had to
explain the bruises
on her face
away
failed the class because
she coulden't scream
or the neigbors would know
and it happened again and
again
grew up
like a sick and sadistic
broken bone
