I Bite Poet Free verse

Why you should Never be Yourself

I cover my face in bandages
I paint curves over my stiches
They appear to be smiling to everyone
Who stops, to observe me
like a burned down Building,
bombs blast over my head
I remain implanted
I remain wounded, too egoistic to ask for help
I only give the left over mindfulness I have
I let my words cage inside the wind
My screams travel faster than my footsteps
Everyone gets scared of my body
They run off, to plead for somebody
To call the ambulance
To shift me to a place
Where they can lock me
So I could be safe
So they, could be saved
I'm a monster,
Among monsters
Whose too tired to hide her true skin
I'm a mirror
Among liars
Who are too busy covering their sins...
