Poems
Jan 2020
vulnerable
I
when I was young
you cut me with
your words
I bled out slowly
when I was young
I was a tear
flash floods
salt and water
burning skin
when I was young
I was broken
not like a bone
that heals with
time
II
I share a lot
with my words
and
you think it is
everything
you think you
know me
from my words
you think I
am exposed
but I am never
completely naked
I wear masking tape
to hide my
deepest scars
