words of me, myself, and i

piercings

piercings

last night,

we pierced her ears

and my nose.

now,

my nose is sore

along with my heart.

her ear bled,

my nose bled

and we cried from the pain.

the pain was small,

but small enough to affect

our beautiful bodies.

it hurt

so we cursed.

it was cool

so we cheered.

now,

i feel more

confident

in my own

skin.
