Band Aids
November 10, 2015
I took up being angry to stop being sad.
I took up being lonely to stop being angry.
I tried to love to stop being lonely.
I took up heartbreak to stop being caged.
I took up being angry to mask the heartbreak.
then I took up breaking hearts to cover i was still broken.
when your little band aids fix scratched knees, when you're older you need bandages not band aids. but when you’re alone, even an infinity of chamomile tea and band aids don’t fix that your empty.
