I'm so tempted to rip this bandage off
but I'm terrified of a face
that will make me scoff
still, I wonder, would it heal faster
with a touch of air?
or is this a wound that would cause me to tear?
for now I'm number
than a snow-plunging dare
I sit in class
waiting for this time to to pass
because although I hate to say it
the music of my life
has lost its bass.
