her cheeks are swollen
a sunken ship
beneath her bones
she can't equip
her sea with rain
she's run too dry
to hide her pain
she wears a smile
that shows her teeth
that rot away
how will she live another day?
that drag on by
when you're alone
a hut of hair
will make her home
straight from her scalp
onto the floor
a hat will hide
a little more
of all her shame
now leave her be
she'll just escape
society
