poem

 Anesthetic

Please stop that

It hurts too much

It isn’t numb yet


Don’t leave until

You say goodbye

Promise to come back


My dish is bland

Could use a pinch of salt

A dash of savory spice


I’m not afraid

Of losing blood

My bones are hard


I’m not allowed 

To be beautiful

I have to be tough


I don’t feel anything now

Sink a needle into my flesh

Cut as deep as you want
