My body is wrought with bruises,
The pain and undertone when touched
Yet no purple marks or blue,
Shown on my skin as such.
Could it be the despair?
Dehydration?
Starvation?
Feels just like a bruise. An injury bumped against
the wrong stool...
Yet no exchange happened
and there's zero black or blue.
Just pains in my calf,
and now I feel it in my ankle too.
Checking myself all over,
I find another one or two.
Could it be? Just the Despair?
Or is it the
Failing of my body and hue.
I once was bright upon a time
Now...
Just a shriveling shrew.
