May 2015
I wear pain
around my neck
like a diamond necklace,
and embellish tragedy
so that it doesn't rob me of my essence.
My mother taught me how to adorn pain
so that it doesn't choke me.
around my neck
like a diamond necklace,
and embellish tragedy
so that it doesn't rob me of my essence.
My mother taught me how to adorn pain
so that it doesn't choke me.
