Ouch I got a cut

by Sophie Howard

In the middle 

Of a storm 

Of a war

Of a fight

Of my life

And yet I’m barely scraped

Just a paper cut on my finger

I see it bleed but I’m not sure if I can feel it

I’ve been feeling so much lately

And I can’t talk 

I can’t breathe

Because you’re always around

Willing to make me stop so we can talk about you

My hearts broken and I’m trying to piece it together with tape but the tape isn’t strong enough

My patience is getting thinner 

Everyone seems to be on thin ice just dancing around me

Not knowing they could fall through

Ouch I got a cut

And now I’m bleeding 

I hope the pain comes soon
