I'm The Ugly One

By pinkmouthedgirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Lines, more lines And the frame drips red Then she gets me up Cut and dried Says a kindly face Want to put you back to bed Her body aches From the hole inside Jagged edge Of the missing jigsaw piece She once knew That the bones stick up Now you took her place I'm the ugly one. Safe and loud Calm the frightened one Keep your feelings down Paint your face Build the camouflage Keep the scavengers at bay.
