Covering The Pain Poem by margaret atkinson

Covering The Pain

Rating: 5.0


Light the candle, watch the flame
Feel the heat, sense the shame
Hide the cuts, cover despair
Dress up, then re-dye the hair
Be a chameleon, blend different shades
Invite friends over, stash all the blades
In bed at night alone and depressed
Remember how you could've changed all of this?
