Black and Blue

Black and blue, purple too,
Against skin so fair,
But no one really notices,
Nor takes a second glance.

Such an unusual pain.
Just before impact,
I hesitate and refrain.

That poor wall has done nothing,
Yet I still hit it,
Till there's blood and bruises,
And a need for a new excuse.

Collecting myself,
I find an ice pack,
And whisper,
"never, not ever again"

The bruises do fade,
And pain goes away.
Till my mind loses it once again.
