i have band-aids on my heels

because i got new shoes

and they nip and bite


i have band-aids on my heels

because i'm hoping they'll heal something else, too

so i can finally get to sleep at night


i have band-aids on my heels

because my new shoes gave me blisters

but also so i can stop having to fight


i have band-aids on my heels

because my heels began to bleed

and i knew there was something else i need.


i have band-aids on my heels
