Just a cut.
Just a scratch.
“What’s that mark?”
“Just the cat.”
Just an excuse.
Just another lie.
“What’s with all the bracelets?”
“Just fashion why?”
Just a tear.
Just a scream.
“Why are you crying?”
“Just a bad dream.”
But it’s not just a cut,
Or a tear or a lie.
It’s always,
Just one more,
Until you die……
