Cuts & Bruises Poem by Jesenia Molina

I walk through
Like nothing's wrong
Long sleeves worn
Even in the summer


long jeans worn
Never showing any skin
Never ever showing
What's hidden underneath

Clothes always help
To hide everything
They won't understand
I need t do it

I need to feel it
The numbness
The emptiness
It' beautiful

Red liquid pouring out
Like a gallon of water
It's intoxicating
It makes me smile

So desperate for you
The help you can give
But it never comes
Oh God

I'm losing it
My mind
Almost gone
Almost but not quite yet
