i feel bruised;
marked with
ugly black and
blue blemishes

but there's no one
to blame but myself

i am clumsy
and i can't help
but run into walls
and trip over things
and hurt myself
again and again

no, no one is
bothering me

you ask me again
and again and again
as if you think me
incapable of
hurting myself

i'm almost flattered

i wouldn't call it poetryWhere stories live. Discover now
