my feet are covered in bandages
my knees are mottled purple and yellow and green from bruises new and old
my thighs ache from over use
there are deep circles under my eyes that are purple around the edges
the nail polish i applied the other day in a fit of boredom is pink and sparkly and chipped
my knuckles look strange in this light
scarred and bruised and knobbly
what remains of my eyeliner is smudged up to all hell
my stomach hurts
it's so fucking quiet tonight
earlier i got angry
i swilled coca cola like whiskey
paced a divot into my carpet
and drew until ink and graphite stained my fingertips
and my heart felt like it would burst.
and now i want to be angry
like i so often am
but i just don't have the energy to feel much at all
